web spam

Web spam refers to unwanted or irrelevant content on the internet that aims to manipulate search engines and gain traffic. This can include low-quality articles filled with keywords, deceptive advertisements, and comment spam on blogs or forums. These tactics are used to achieve higher rankings in search results or to promote products, often at the expense of user experience. Web spam can clutter online spaces, making it harder for users to find useful information and can lead to a distrust of legitimate sites and sources.
