Original research date July 2010 Referrer spam also known as log spam or referrer bombing ref http www.google.com support forum p Webmasters thread?tid 660dae4dec14e92b&hl en ref is a kind of spamdexing spamming aimed at search engine s . The technique involves making repeated web site requests using a fake HTTP referrer referrer url that points to the site the spammer wishes to advertise. ref http stardrifter.org refcontrol ref Sites that publicize their access logs, including referrer statistic s, will then end up linking to the spammer s site, which will in turn be indexed by the search engines as they crawl the access logs. This benefits the spammer because of the free link, and also gives the spammer s site improved PageRank search engine ranking due to link counting algorithms that search engines use. Technical solutions As with e mail spam, web site operators who receive unwanted referrer spam may respond using filtering and blocking. A simple attempt at rendering this form of spam ineffective is to prevent the search engine spiders from crawling the site logs by moving them to a non public area such as a password protected area, by using Robots exclusion standard a robot exclusion file , or by appending the nofollow value to the links.

Spam mass is defined as the measure of the impact of spamdexing link spamming on a page s ranking. The concept was developed by Zolt n Gy ngyi and Hector Garcia Molina of Stanford University in association with Pavel Berkhin and Jan Pedersen of Yahoo . This paper expands upon their proposed TrustRank methodology. The researchers developed a good core and a bad core of selected World Wide Web Web documents from which they measured spam mass across a collection of documents. Two types of measurements, absolute mass and relative mass , are used to compare groups of documents. The higher the mass measurements, the more likely the documents are to be equivalent to spam. Thresholds A threshold value is used to identify groups of documents as spam. If their relative mass value exceeds the threshold, the documents are considered to be spam. A second threshold for the PageRank values of the selected documents is applied. Only high PageRank documents are labelled as spam. The purpose of the methodology is to identify spam documents with artificially inflated PageRank values.

Image spam is a kind of E mail spam where the message text of the spam is presented as a picture in an image file . When introduced by spammers most graphical E mail client software would render the image file by default, presenting the message image directly to the user, it was a highly effective at circumventing normal E mail filtering software . The basic rationale behind image spam is that it is difficult to detect using spam filter ing software designed to detect patterns in text in the plain text E mail body. Attempts to filter text in image spam are easily defeated because optical character recognition of text in image spam can be prevented using a variety of obfuscation techniques which will not prevent the spam image from being read by human beings. This is the same phenomenon exploited by CAPTCHA s, but put to the ends of spammers, rather than to deter their activity. Obfuscation techniques can include Blurring of text outlines Construction of the image from multiple image layers assembled within an HTML e mail Use of animated image formats Random noise added to the image also known as confetti to prevent the detection of multiple similar images using hash algorithms Currently, the surest known countermeasure for image spam is to discard all messages containing images which do not appear to come from an already whitelist ed E mail address.
