What's with all the spam lately? There's only like, 30 people that frequent this place now. I don't see where the profit is in it.

It costs a lot of money to operate a spam bot.

I know it's cheap and easy, but what's the point of spamming this place at all? Nobody here is going to fall for that crap.

The point isn't to get us to click the links, it's just to get the links out there and have them associated with the sites. This boosts their PageRank on google.

-That's pretty much it.

How much did you spend on that black leather jacket? Is it you, or your parents, in this income tax bracket?

Not exactly, but close. More links can help boost rankings in SERPs (search engine results pages), but most forums tag links as rel=nofollow which means they don't help at all (I just checked, apparently Massassi doesn't do this.)

What's more often going on is that they're trying to build up keywords. Google sees a link and looks at the text around it, or the anchor text, to see what the link is talking about.

Example:
Click here to find out more about <a href="http://www.zaccohn.com">Butt enlargement!</a>

In the above example, "butt enlargement" is the anchor text. So google crawls the page, sees a link to X site with Y anchor text, and makes a little note that if someone is searching for butt enlargement, this page should show up.

[edit- This is also why you never want "click here" to be the anchor text, because that does doodly squat for you in terms of SEO.]

Angel
Once upon a time there was a child ready to be born.
One day the child asked God: "They tell me you are going to send me to earth tomorrow but
how am I going to live Cheap WoW Goldthere being so small and helpless?"
God replied: "Among the many angels, I have chosen one for you. She will be waiting for
you and will take care of you."
"But, " said the child: "tell me wotlk power levelinghere in Heaven I don‘t anything else but sing and smile.
That‘s what I need to be happy!"
God said: "Your angelCheap WoW Gold will sing for you and will also smile for you every day. And you will
feel your angel‘s love and be happy."
"And," said the child: wow gold"how am I going to be able to understand when people talk to me, If
I don‘t know the language that men talk?"
"That‘s easy", said God: "Your angel will tell you the most beautiful and sweet words
you will ever hear, and with World Of Warcraft goldmuch patience and care, your angel will teach you how to speak."
The child looked up at God saying: "And what am I going to do when I want to talk to you?"
God smiled at the child saying: "Your angel will Place your hands together and will
teach you how to pray."
The child said: "I‘ve heard on earth there are bad men. Who will Protect me?"
God put his arm around the child, saying: "Your angel will defend you - even if it means
risking life!"
The child looked sad, saying:World Of Warcraft gold "But I will always be sad because I will not see you anymore."
God hugged the child: "Your angel will always talk to you about me and will teach you
the way to come back to me, even though I will always be next to you."
At that moment there was age of conan goldmuch peace in Heaven, but voices from earth could already be
heard.
The child, in a hurry, askedbuy WoW Gold softly: "Oh God, if I am about to leave now Please tell my

God replied: "Your angelworld of warcraft power leveling‘s name is of no importance...you will simply call her MOMMY!"
