I had a form on my site so people could fill it in and it would be
added to the guest book. I often got spammers *try* and get added.
I even had a message on there that they would be vetted before being

I only have about 5 pages of "jewelry" on my site (out over 5000) and
no inbound (or on site) with "jewellery"
