Abstract
An exemplary system for monitoring search spam and protecting against search spam includes a self-monitoring subsystem to uncover spam patterns and a self-protection subsystem to protect against spam by providing spam-related information to strengthen a relevance ranking algorithm. An exemplary architecture for monitoring search spam includes a first component to receive one or more spammer targeted keywords and to search, scan and analyze URLs based at least in part on the one or more spammer targeted keywords, a second component to receive one or more URLs from the first component and to verify one or more of these URLs as a spam URL and a third component to collect spammer targeted keywords associated with one or more spam URLs and to provide one or more of the spammer targeted keywords to the first component.
