It’s difficult to fight spam these days; there are many different types of spam out there, many you may not be aware of.
There is email spam, probably the most common type of spam. Spam in your email box will probably be from some pharmacy site, pyramid schemes, or even stock spam. There is also search engine spam, which actually goes into even more sub categories.
Search engine spam can be found when you search for something in Google or any search engine, and when you click the result, it only shows a bunch of keywords, or content that doesn’t make sense.
Text messaging spam is another way to get people to subscribe to services and get people to send out more information.
I don’t control spam really, I use some basic email filters, with a large blacklist. I still gets probably a few hundred junk emails a day. I usually spend about an 30 minutes going through my junk email folder. I also use a filter provided by my ISP which basically finds keywords in the email body and gives each email a score, if the score is higher than a certain amount, it’ll be considered junk.
Spam in general is a high profit industry; there are a ton of private forums out there which specialize in selling emails, algorithms, domains, opt-in email lists, among tons of other services.
