Search marketing in the new media era.

Spam Finds its Way to RSS Feeds?
I subscribe to a number of RSS feeds including Feedster, where I get updates for many different search terms. For example, if any blog or news site mentions "Ask Jeeves", it typically appears in my RSS aggregator.

Just recently, I started seeing what looks like spam in my RSS feeds. Take a look at this example...

http://www.1tasers.com/law-taser/law-taser.html

Do You Dare To Ask Jeeves about law taser ? Well you can sure do this if you want to find out about law taser but we have made your life much easier. This is our favorite Net Butler and he answers detailed questions about anything. We put him to the test and asked several questions about law taser. Jeeves give his answers in several ways. Some of the answers are from companies promoting law taser. These answers are some that we have reviewed in our research of law taser and in an effort to find the best value available. Well we asked and here is the very best of the best sites.

Now, I don't mind getting ads now and then but this looks like someone who has realized that placing popular terms in their news posts, will get them picked up by thousands of RSS subscribers. Is this RSS Spam?
