Web-Site-spamming either blogs guestbooks etc... has a different approach from the point of view of their originators.
- it's tricky to tweak pages in the web for abuse
- this is time consuming so only a few will do that in the "wild"
- it's much more easier to mail all this stuff over a bot-net
- the message of all these spammers is always the same... buy .... look
at .. obey this finacial tip.... help me... and so on 5) they have to attract their readers to their message so they always must use the same sort of linguistic acrobatic tokens...
at least the same set of keywords stopping mailspam is sufficient to detect and stop web-spam
In a general sense, yes.
I totally agree that spamvertized domains in web-spam is a bit diffrent from mailspam but not much.
I think it has yet to be proven or disproven. Perhaps a test you could try is to see how well your web spam list detects mail spam (checking message body URIs, naturlich). If the intersection is not very much then that may argue that web and mail spam are different.
