SEO services are pretty much the top spam topic on forums these days. You can pretty much go ahead and nuke anyone with SEO mentioned in their sig out of the orbit.

Not sure about this one. Zero posts and a generic looking biography.

But a link to a web design service as well.

Okay, it seems that the readily identifiable spambots are a rather recent invention, as these are the earliest I could find in my (admittedly cursory) search.

http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/member.php?u=260753

http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/member.php?u=260762 (Note that this one has a post, but it seems highly likely that he is, in fact, a spambot)

http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/member.php?u=260772

There are many old accounts that seem to be spambots, but they have nothing to identify them as such.

That was one of the spam sigs. I called the poor receptionist and told her to let the owner know that the SEO he hired is spamming the hell out of the world. That SEO is listed on the bottom of his site as http://www.influxseo.com/

Yeah, by spamming the world. There needs to be stiffer penalties for this crap. I am going to report these two...to someone, if I can figure out who.

Like, these links are poor, lacks relevant content lists, and are registered as bad domains, ie, with hindsight, an excellent spot for Spambot and other crap.

From Wikipedia page on SEO abuse...

Quote:
Search engines may penalize sites they discover using black hat SEO methods, either by reducing their rankings or eliminating their listings from their databases altogether. Such penalties can be applied either automatically by the search engines' algorithms, or by a manual site review. One infamous example was the February 2006 Google removal of both BMW Germany and Ricoh Germany for use of deceptive practices. Both companies, however, quickly apologized, fixed the offending pages, and were restored to Google's list.
Sounds like targeting them where it would most hurt them, via the search engines themselves, is the best route. Although knowing your dealings with Google before... they're not the most responsive company to complaints, are they
