Nowadays, 2 or 3 websites of American colleges and universities fall victims to affiliate spam every day. And an affiliate spam group exploited the website of College of Education at Ohio State University. Ohio State’s College of Education has its own subdomain, and at least one of its subdirectories is exploited with possibly hundreds of affiliate spam pages. affiliate spam
