    I was looking at the links pointing to some website and look what I found!!

    There is spam on someone's website in standford. Visit the following URL:

    http://piece.stanford.edu/DemeWiki/AideDivers
    http://www.cite.uqam.ca/magnan/wiki/pmwiki.php/AER/ApoTechno
    http://alt.org/wiki/index.php/FoolishDiscussion?version=48

    I believe, if you have someone in universities then it would not be hard to setup some genuine page rather than such SPAM.. But guess what I do not have as much money to spend for this as would generally this SPAMMERS.

    Does this look right way to build links? I guess not. If you do it this way, you are spamming and will get success but for short time not a long lived one!!

    Just shows how vunerable Wiki sites are to abuse. Wikipedia have people who work really hard to keep the spam out, but these little Wiki sites in the internet backwaters probably aren't even aware that someone has spammed their site.

    You can do three things with these sites:
    1. Add your own spam to the page, or create your own (naughty)
    2. Delete the spam from those pages, and fight to keep it off (righteous)
    3. Ignore it, because fighting spam is futile and un-appreciated (apethetic)

    Edit: The last link given is actually maintained to be spam free - just look at the page history. However, the past revisions might be indexed by search engines.

    Cryo.
