Not to forget offline spamming...

I was talking with Timo Heuer about Social Spamming via Skype and he was so nice to draw (really ;) ) an systematic tree from my first thoughts.



I just wated to document this here, expand it a little bit with examples and make it machine readble.



Here is the drawing: Social Spamming - Schaubild at Timo Heuers Weblog]



So:

If Social Spamming is 'Spamming in Web 2.0' [wrote about this here: http://typo.twoday.net/stories/3232181/ ] we have the following types



Social Spamming

* Bookmarkspamming (in del.icio.us and the like, creating SEO-links and traffic)



* Wiki Spamming

** Link in Wiki for Traffic and SEO

** Automatic generation of Links or entries in 'open' Wikis



* Weblog-Spam

** Spam Blogs (Blogs conatining LInks and Messages for SEO)

** Comment spamming (Spammer commenting in 'my entry' to point to his/her content/URL)

** Trackback-Spamming (Spammer setting trackbacks in 'my entry' to point t his/her content/URL)

** Referrer Spamming (Spammer linking to my Content, thus showing up in refefrre lists and on technorati ths creating seo-linking and traffic)



* Contact-Spamming

** creating attention and increasing a social network by requesting "friendship" or "contact" in social networks (may also contain or point to spam-content/URL

** this would also include 'enriching' SN-Guestbooks with more or less meaningless (contact-)messages (like in Orkut)



Should chat-spam be in here? Any sub-types?
