Arabic Spam

Attention you pinheads who are putting spam up in Arabic.

Is it beyond your intelligence to realize that Arabic is not understood by the majority of members of this site?

Apparently so, because you fools continue to bombard us with your silly tripe that no one gives a **** about and all that happens is that it gets deleted by the mods.

¡Idiotas! ¡Imbéciles!

¡Phtttttttttttttttt!

Evaluation of Spam Impact on Arabic Websites Popularity

Abstract

The expansion of the Web and its information in all aspects of life raises the concern of how to trust information published on the Web especially in cases where publisher may not be known. Websites strive to be more popular and make themselves visible to search engines and eventually to users. Website popularity can be measured using several metrics such as the Web traffic (e.g. Website: visitors’ number and visited page number). A link or page popularity refers to the total number of hyperlinks referring to a certain Web page. In this study, several top ranked Arabic Websites are selected for evaluating possible Web spam behavior. Websites use spam techniques to boost their ranks within Search Engine Results Page (SERP). Results of this study showed that some of these popular Websites are using techniques that are considered spam techniques according to Search Engine Optimization guidelines.

There are several techniques that can be used to enhance Website visibility to search engines. Some of these techniques are legal and recommended by search engines and known as Search Engine Optimization (SEO) recommendations. Others are considered illegal and may cause the Website that uses them to be banned from the listings of any search engine when discovered such spam behavior. For example, Google presents a number of beneficial guidelines showing how a Webmaster or an administrator can raise legally the rank of their Web pages.

In Web or link spam, a Website or a Web page is injected with irrelevant content to raise falsely its popularity. Real Website popularity should come from real users who are visiting the Website or real Websites which are pointing to or linking to other related Websites.

I think linking their sites to any popular sites increases their ranking when someone does a search. I think they may not care about our response, just need links to our highly trafficked site to increase their visibility in search engines.

But I am not really an expert in this type of thing.

Nice touch: the illustrated (I presume)Arabic subtitles on the classic Americn icon. - Esteban_317, May 28, 2016
The funny part is that most Arabs are Muslims and don't eat pork. I noticed that they have a disclaimer on the can saying, "Not for Muslims." - Daniela2041, May 28, 2016
No, it's really spam...don't do anything to the posts. Stuart and the admins and mods are working on this. Just flag them. - rac1, May 28, 2016

I just can't believe that there is no program to filter out any post not written in Roman script (to include all the nine symbols used in Spanish). Or even a post to block Arabic script specifically. When would SpanishDict.com ever need to allow Arabic script? With of course all due respect to the language itself.

I guess our mods aren't on duty today. I know that Rac1 has to work and I think that Ray is still in Spain. - Daniela2041, May 28, 2016
