Removing Spam: Types of Spam, cont.
Twitter / FB spam-bots
© 2014 Brandwatch | www.brandwatch.com | 9#brandwatchtips
Removing Spam
Spammers target some industries more: fashion, automotive, pharma,
cosmetics, finance – aspirational & consumer brands
Instead of targeting individual authors or sites, target language:
•  Inappropriate language (“viagra”, “air jordan”, “porn”)
•  Calls to action (“see deals”, “click now”)
•  Aggressive language (“FOR SALE”)
•  Excessively repeated words (“deals deals deals”)
•  Authors with odd names (“user”, “admin”, “__iphone”)
•  Reseller language (“bids”, “$”)
