So I just finished reading identifying link farm spam pages and Pagerank Increase under Different Collusion Topologies. I don’t have a fancy sheepskin hangin’ on my wall but I’d say those documents were about 30 pages longer than necessary. In fact I’ll sum them up in about 6 sentences:

• Spammers will exchange links with friends or colleagues.
• Spammers will buy links from external websites.
• Spammers will get links from directories or web forum signatures.
• Spammers build websites to get links,
• Spammers will link websites websites in a ring or pyramid form.
• Spammers do it to increase rankings and make money.

There you have it, no fancy math functions needed. You think I’ll get an invite to speak at the 14th annual WWW conference like the guys who wrote the papers did?
