spamdex
<World-Wide Web> (Presumably from "spam", "index") word spamming.
"Spamdexing has come a long way from the halcyon days of the summer of 1995.
Back then, all one needed to do was add the word 'sex' a thousand times at the
end of a Web page to attract attention from the likes of Lycos. The
search-engine operators caught on fast" -- Andrew Leonard, Hotwired 1996.
