Mitchell Read Replies (1) | Respond to Zonkie, this article called "How do Spammers Work?" discusses how spammers might get paid: spamblogging.com . The problem with getting paid by click throughs is that you'd need to have a fixed server where you could monitor and track them, which would make you easier to track and block. Instead, spammers normally hijack other computers so they can't be traced. And even if you could be secure that you couldn't be tracked and/or blocked, spam itself is bad enough, let alone encouraging others to spam back:A no doubt impossible suggestion: how about the big email sites, hotmail, yahoo, etc., replying to identified spam with, say, a thousand replies per spammed in-box? Jam the spam, and continue to do so, and maybe, just maybe, they'd get the idea.
