I'm trying to ATTRACT spammers to my website. I'm currently conducting an experiment, so i've set up an open registration phpbb forum, where spammers can register and spam as much as they want. That's what the forum's all about. The forum was just open today, so i don't expect them to come THAT soon. I've subscribed it to google so hopefully it'll show up in their search. I've also tried filling it with spam keywords (to indicate that the forum is currently being spammed, to attract even more spammers, or spambots). Do you know any other ways to attract spammers ? Please contact me via email if you have any ideas. I'm quite interested in some spam statistics, and just how far they'd go to post their crap all over the internet (particularly since on this website they'd be spamming each other, since there are no legitimate users, unless some friends of mine decide to join just to make fun of the content) Thank you in advance, and congratulations on your article.

It's not just email!! There are a lot of indicators to look out for, but the key is to make sure the domain name in the URL matches the name of the site. these malicious sites can look very very real, well designed, and even have links to the real site in it. check out the wikipedia doc for more. not to be a comment spammer… ;) but I thought of something else people should be on the lookout for:
