Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Since its creation in 2001, Wikipedia has rapidly grown into the largest reference website on the Internet. The content of Wikipedia is free, written collaboratively by people from all around the world.
But still there are many around who loves to spam it. How many got successful ? I don’t know the single name. How many sites got banned for spamming wikis ? Well there is a huge list but I am not here to give the names. These spams are unstoppable as wiki is inherently open to being edited, they are largely vulnerable to link spam, especially if that can be hidden. It is possible in a lot of wikis to embed html through a wiki ignore tag.
What most spammers do is to use any automated software to edit a large number of wikis and enter in a particular link or url but are always caught by LinkSleeve . Yeah as anyone with access to an Internet-connected computer can edit, correct, or improve information throughout the encyclopedia so its vulnerbility to such malicious acts is very high. This is the best website I have come across so my motive behind writing this is to personally discourage all such acts.
