I was talking with Timo Heuer about Social Spamming via Skype and he was so nice to draw (really ;) ) an systematic tree from my first thoughts.

I just wated to document this here, expand it a little bit with examples and make it machine readble.

Here is the drawing: Social Spamming - Schaubild at Timo Heuers Weblog]

So:
If Social Spamming is 'Spamming in Web 2.0' [wrote about this here: http://typo.twoday.net/stories/3232181/ ] we have the following types

Social Spamming
* Bookmarkspamming (in del.icio.us and the like, creating SEO-links and traffic)

* Wiki Spamming
** Link in Wiki for Traffic and SEO
** Automatic generation of Links or entries in 'open' Wikis

* Weblog-Spam
** Spam Blogs (Blogs conatining LInks and Messages for SEO)
** Comment spamming (Spammer commenting in 'my entry' to point to his/her content/URL)
** Trackback-Spamming (Spammer setting trackbacks in 'my entry' to point t his/her content/URL)
** Referrer Spamming (Spammer linking to my Content, thus showing up in refefrre lists and on technorati ths creating seo-linking and traffic)

* Contact-Spamming
** creating attention and increasing a social network by requesting "friendship" or "contact" in social networks (may also contain or point to spam-content/URL
** this would also include 'enriching' SN-Guestbooks with more or less meaningless (contact-)messages (like in Orkut)

Should chat-spam be in here? Any sub-types?
