The ScientificAmerican writes: The phenomenon of spam afflicts more than just e-mail. Inside chat rooms lurk "robots" that pretend to be human and attempt to convince people to click on links that lead to pornographic Web sites.

Blogs can be corrupted by "link spammers" who degrade Internet search engine operations by adding misleading links to sites that distort the utility ratings of Web sites and links.
