    Default Interesting Observation

    So, viewing who's online, user Lyagushkka has been Private Messaging all morning.

    Lyagushkka has made no posts in this forum, despite being a member for a month.

    A quick Google search only shows a plethora of forum registrations, most without any posts, many accounts being banned.

    I understand how a spam-bot works, but the list of forums is quite diverse. I would have thought that these efforts would have been managed better.

    Sorry, but spam (as a practice) is fascinating to me. I have even responded to a few of the Nigerian scams in the past with bogus e-mail addresses. It's the same reason why I answer the tele-marketers calls in the evenings. I figure if I'm taking up their time, they aren't taking up someone else's.

    Anyone know of a good book explaining how this all works?

    I thought I was the only one who enjoyed playing with telemarketers too. My wife and I have had contests to see how long we can keep them on the phone. I think our record is about 45 min. (mind you that's only because we got really bored)

    Speaking of SPAM:

    I have a Twitter account. I don't use it, but I have one, nonetheless.

    Now, no one knows of my twitter account, yet I have several followers. I was wondering if anyone else who has a Twitter account has noticed that they have totally random followers to their twits.

    IT guys, what possibly could the motivation be?

    It simply generates traffic. Traffic usually means hits. Hits mean $.

    I used this site for an example:

    Earnings Report for www.cigarsmokers.com

    The following report outlines traffic levels received by the submitted URL, overviews sources of potential income, and proposes a resale value of the site based on these factors. If you believe your site is worth above $500,000, you may be interested in consulting with an expert in internet mergers and acquisitions.

    Alexa Traffic RankingThe site's Alexa Rank = 486,403

    PageRankThe site's Google Page Rank = 4

    Backlink Report
    •Yahoo: 0
    •Altavista: 4040
    •All the Web: 4000
    Average of 270 backlinks.


    Your site is valued at: $2,104

    I think you're being awfully kind - I'd guess more around... 9?

    Looks to me like a slap on the wrist for what those guys did. Steal tens of millions of dollars and get sent to the can for only 4 years? People get more time for holding up a liquor store for a few hundred bucks. The Feds will never find all of their money, and in 4 years they'll be out so they can go set up the same operation somewhere offshore.
