- nickb 19y agoI've seen software (I think they charge over $4K per install) that uses hidden markov chains etc to create content that looks like it was written by humans. You give it few keywords that you'd like to optimize your site/pages for and this thing does the rest. Google does ban few of them but they're getting more sophisticated with every new version so Google has really hard time keeping up.
- dpapathanasiou 19y agoI've read about that software, too, although from a research perspective: http://www.eblong.com/zarf/markov/ http://www.eblong.com/zarf/markov/ I would have never thought to use it for spam generation, though... I have to admit (grudgingly) that some of those spammers are clever.
