So the obvious experiments are
- use up a geocities page and hotmail account and see what spam you get
- register some spamhaus's page and wonder what spam she gets
- register her page on some list of known spammers
- look at the other links on her website - what suckers live there?
- register your real site and see if your Self Esteem improves
because there are now more pointers to your web site :-)
My guess is that the scam is that if some fraction of the spammees
point to her on their pages, she gets free advertising and
higher rating in different web search engines.
