I'd like to add that many spammers are link spammers (also called "stealth spammers" or "guerilla marketers") who may seem innocent, but the kicker is they always have a seemingly helpful link in their message. The clue is that the message they use is almost, but not quite on point because they are using search engines to find any forum in which to post which has even a vague connection to their "product of the moment."

These folks bank on the "numbers" based on the theory that if you throw enough cooked spaghetti at the wall, some will stick. Here's an excerpt from one of these miscreants recruiting other miscreants (note ALL links and ID have been purged)

You'll also note the sentences I highlighted in RED. I first became clued to this aspect of spamming several years ago when I learned about line for line copies and paraphrases of my own "deathless prose" showing up on sites around the world with links attached.

Can you make money writing short articles? You certainly can. In fact, you can even make money without a website or autoresponder. With nothing more than a computer, word processor, and an Internet connection you can make money writing articles.

The key to making money is consistency. You have to write articles every day. Each article should have between 350 and 500 words and will include a resource box with 2 or 3 links.

To begin, go to [deleted] or [deleted] and register with them if you don't already have affiliate accounts with them. Then, visit their marketplace and select 3 or 4 popular products that are related to an area that you can write about. Make sure that the products that you select are good, high quality items that are selling well.

Write 1 - 3 articles every day related to the products that you have chosen. This sounds more difficult than it actually is. It's really pretty easy. Look for articles on the Internet that are relating to your niche, then rewrite them in your own words. Never copy another author's work, it is illegal and carries severe penalties. Get the main ideas and put them into your own words. Using this technique, you can write an article in 10 to 15 minutes.

Submit each of your articles to 5 or 10 of the largest article directories. Make sure that your articles contain 3 affiliate links in the resource box. You can use the same affiliate links with every article but change the order that they appear. Sometimes make link 1 the first link, and sometimes add it as the third. Many people will just click on the first link. By varying their placement, all of your links will be on top part of the time.

Using this technique, money may begin to trickle in after 4 - 6 weeks. However, after 6 months, you may begin to make money every week. And after a year, you could be making some very nice money almost every day.
