1) Use your web search engine du jour to look up a keyword that you want to associate with your web site, and find a link that comes up on the first page of the search results.
2) Use your spambot to add your link to that forum page, no matter how old.
3) Voila! Your web site's rankings improve from the SEO.
BP's Universal Forums (like OT) are extra-juicy for SEO, since they display the same posting on a dozen or more distinct host URLs. They score a ten-for-one (or better) with each spam post, since the spammed link appears to be on many different web servers.
This is why I keep suggesting that the admins restrict BP-OT and the other Universal Forums here to only be accessible by logged-in users, and with no search engine access. If the search engines cannot index the Universal Forums, the SEO-spamming cockroaches will move on to another forum site.....
