Interesting Phenomena - Spammers Giving Legit Traffic

No votes yet

I noticed something interesting today. I was checking the stats for one of my sites which had been hit by spammers and I hadn't had time to clean it up for about a month. What I saw was some of the spam comments actually got ranked on google and were driving real traffic to the spam posts.

So an interesting thought, if you could rank a legitimate site and get spammed a lot, could you turn spammers effort into revenue for yourself?
