likely to be a snowshoe spam operation.

Sure it could be pagerank gaming, blog spamming etc.   But on the balance

The value proposition is not spam: that works with unallocated space.

The value proposition is gaming google page rank, by using widely spread

by hits and references. This is a very high value business: one customer
paying you big bucks, to have their web high in google pagerank. Not
attacking a million mailboxes.
