I don't know much about computers but it makes sense that spam is easily confused with legitimate information. I myself have noticed that over the years there has been a vast increase of the link farm sites and find it equally increasingly annoying.

Thanks for the info.

I haven't noticed a vast increase, but I have noticed waves, so to speak, of link-farm prevalence. The very effect in action?
