Putting a positive Spin on Spam

Spammers I love you! Yep, you great people from Texas who regularly Spam the plexo on my Squidoo Weight Loss lens, with invitations for massage, rhinoplasty and cheap supplements.

You see, it works this way:

I get your visits - great for traffic!

You leave Spam on the Plexo - naughty!

I get an email that says someone has added the link to the Plexo - phew!

I visit the lens

I delete the link - takes all of a couple of seconds

I hit Publish

Lens is updated - sorted!


Thank you Spammers for making sure that my second top lens is refreshed regularly and thanks for the traffic. Keep coming back. It really is much appreciated

Is anyone else as lucky as me?

Note: I originally published much of this comment on the SquidU Forum, but thought it may benefit a wider audience!

Overall traffic to my Squidoo lenses has increased by a huge amount this week, thanks to a very topical lens - you can find out more on my SquidTop blog.

Hmmm, so now the trick would be to convert / divert those zillions of spammers who email me to visiting my Squidoo lenses! That might move some of my lenses into that upper tier. ;) Oh, too bad these spammers don't do more constructive things with their time.
