Wiki Spam and Page Rank

  • Article

Within 15 minutes of my last post, Bob pointed out that the purpose of Wiki Spam is to increase the Page Rank of their sites.  So, I understand the business model now, I just don't get the ethics...

Bob by the way, has an interesting looking site.

    John: Yes, you can complain. However, if you don't implement widely-available, relatively low footprint (certainly parallelizable) solutions despite your company supposedly being 'security-conscious' it makes it look either incompetent or hypocritical or both.

    I guess we're talking about the difference between complaining and whining. I can complain if my apartment gets broken into, but I should do something about it. If I don't make an effort to secure my place (or move), I'm just whining.

    In this case I'm complaining. I am curious how long before I get Spam without making any effort to secure my comments section. Once I do get Spam, I promise I will act.
