SPAM FLOOD DETECTION METHODOLOGIES

摘要

A computer-implemented method and system are provided in which characteristics of a website are analyzed to determine whether the website represents a potential source of spam, and, in response to the analyzing, flags content of the website as spam content. To analyze the website, a total number of posts associated with the website is computed and a publication frequency for the total number of posts can then be calculated. Based on the computed total number and the calculated publication frequency, it can be determined whether the website in its entirety represents spam content. For instance, the calculated publication frequency can be compared to a threshold frequency, and when the calculated publication frequency is greater than the threshold frequency, the website in its entirety as can be identified and flagged as spam content.
