The Internet and Social Media is primarily seen as a Business Opportunity not as a means of dissemination of information.
Not that there is anything wrong with using the Internet for this purpose it is when it is seen as the ONLY reason to use it. The fact that it is there seems to give those that don't have anything else to offer a means to bombard you with spam and advertising.
There are many ways that the "enterprizing" seem to try and use the Internet for their own gain. From the simple blog with Adsense or banner ads to the creation of link farms that contain no useful information apart from links to other websites.
The (business) models that these websites follow are diverse and this page is an attempt to document some of the ways.
The sites are wide-ranging and cannot easily be categorized. Some are little more than link farms others just try and sell you something just because you found them by searching for a common keyword.
It is not as if that is exactly what my technique is (determining popular keywords that I know people are searching for) - however, I am not trying to sell anything or monetize this site/blog in any way.
Examples (as I come across them and document)
