Introducing the Webb Spam Corpus: Using Email Spam to Identify Web Spam Automatically

Category: Software and Web Development, Security

Overview Just as email spam has negatively impacted the user messaging experience, the rise of Web spam is threatening to severely degrade the quality of information on the World Wide Web. Fundamentally, Web spam is designed to pollute search engines and corrupt the user experience by driving traffic to particular spammed Web pages, regardless of the merits of those pages. This paper identifies an interesting link between email spam and Web spam, and they use this link to propose a novel technique for extracting large Web spam samples from the Web. Then, they present the Webb Spam Corpus - a first-of-its-kind, large-scale, and publicly available Web spam data set that was created using their automated Web spam collection method.
