Wiki Spam is the unwanted insertion of advertisements with external links in the wiki. The purpose of this vandalism is to promote external websites in search engines such as Google.
Spammers note: external links in this wiki have the rel=nofollow attribute, which means Google will ignore them and you will get no Google ranking boost from the wiki at all. Therefore, spamming is pointless.
