Form of online advertising that uses
spam-like tactics in ways not usually associated with
spam. We know about
spam in snail mail, e-mail and enwsgroups, but this is a much wider problem:
fake blogs, comments on websites that allow visitors to comment, shell sites, etc.
For some reason, these guys reckon this form of advertising is worth their while. I'
d be willing to
bet a huge sum of money that less than 0.01% of advertisers who use these tactics actually make money, in fact the majority probably lose money plus the time they've wasted setting it up. Spamvertising just pisses
people off, it certainly doesn't make us want to go and spend money on whatever heap a shit you're hawking.
