Digging in spam and filtering services.

If you talk to someone who uses email, spam is something that is often in your mind. How often do you open your inbox looking for an email from your mother and end up with emails with subjective titles related to animals and foreign objects?

There are ways to fight spam, and one of the most popular is through the use of a spam filtering service. There are different types of spam and, surprisingly, not all of them involve email. Most spam messages involve advertising or promotion of a product, however, this is not true in some cases.

The most common types of spam are: junk email, junk mail link, and junk Mail search engine.

Unwanted email is the simple act of sending large amounts of  "junk mail " To anyone and everyone, in order to promote a product. Many times, spamming has been exploited by more ' funding ' industries such as the adult industry, but it would be unfair to say that other industries have not used it as well.

Link spam is a form of spam or indexing of spam that was recently published more often when it was directed to increasingly popular weblogs. Weblogs are one of the biggest problems, however, link spam also affects guestbooks and online discussion forums. The purpose of the spamming in these various places is to show hyperlinks to a different page or product, which helps both the user's exposure and the popularity of the search engine.

The spam of the search engines is usually closely related to the "spam link " Above, because it is the process of creating innumerable quantities of pages that populate the search engines. Many times, these pages will be filled with trash text and will have no real value. When a user visits them, they will be redirected to a completely different page, often in another domain, or display prominent advertising.

Everyone can participate in the elimination of spam.

The easiest way for a general user not to encourage spam is not to use it. Spammers only send spam, as it must be effective, otherwise they would find something better to do with their time. It is also recommended to obtain several levels of personal protection against spam, which is often included with antivirus software.

Third-party solutions, such as Gmail, have a very good spam detection, however, spam is often filtered and, in that case, can help Gmail to notify you of what happened, so they can help you protect yourself next time.
