Here is the answer from the horse's mouth. Xrumer is not spam. (It should be noted that many owners of the program have abused it's power and given it a bad name that is almost synonymous with spam).

The most important thing to understand is increasing your website traffic. You need traffic or your website is worthless. In fact, without traffic your website is like the old boat saying, "just a hole in the water that you pour money into..." and a website without traffic "is a hole in the internet that you pour money into..."

You have to get backlinks. You have to connect with people on social networks. The internet is about interacting with people, and Xrumer helps you find the people that are interested in your service, product, or website. Connect with the World NOW with the help of Xrumer Blast Services.

The programmer of Xrumer says:

XRumer is the premier automated link-building tool. Through the use of this tool you will see a significant increase in the number of unique visitors to your site, as well as see your site jump in the search engine result pages.

2. Isn't it a spam-bot? In no way XRumer acts like a spam-bot since spam is defined in legislation as 'unsolicited email', whereas XRumer simply posts messages created by users, which cannot be illegal providing the user does not violate the legislation by provoking racial hatred or anything prohibited by the law. Besides, in most cases XRumer is smart enough to find sections like 'Flood', 'Off topic', 'Flame', 'Chit-chat' where advertising takes place with the permission from moderators and webmasters. XRumer is not an email spam bomber and should not be confused with such software. The laws of USA, Russia, Canada, Spain, Germany, France and other countries explicitly state the illegal nature of email spam which XRumer has nothing to do with.

Do you hate spam? Spam has been one of the biggest headache for online business owners. Attacks such as unsolicited email, automatic bot messages and blatant advertising methods are just irritating. However, there's still light to shred the shadow. After reading this article, you will have better ideas to fight against spam activities in your site.

Captcha is one of the best ways against auto bot registration. One of the most common spam behavior is auto account registration on forums. These bots intend to post advertising messages without manual control. Tools like Xrumer are dedicated for this purpose. Thus, you can set up captcha against bot registration. Alternatively, setting up anti-spam questions that appear randomly will also be useful.

Some spams may come from the same IP. If this is the case, you can try to block IP access on your server. IP block is a built-in function on many web server platform. You can even define an IP range for wider coverage. Note that you may also block other users on the same IP. Another measure is to block the email address and its DNS source. This can save you time to delete spam email.

There are a lot of anti-spam software available on the market. E-mail clients also have built-in defense mechanism against junk emails. But best of all you should avoid spreading your email address over the internet, because your email can be picked up by email harvester software. Using a submission form will be a more secured measure.

Instead of spam, Xrumer allows you to join hundreds of forums and interact with the members that have an interest in your product, service, or website.
