Earlier this month [2], I received some spam saying I could earn 8½¢ per
impression for adding a line of HTML (HyperText Markup Language) to my pages.
At the time, I was curious how it worked, it sounding too good to be true.

Well, with this spam email, it all becomes clear—it's not 8½¢ per impression,
it's 8½¢ per infected machine I'm able to deliver. Apparently, there's big
money [3] in botnets defrauding Google AdSense [4].
