I realise that this has probably been said before but the worse spam on 
a wiki / blog that I have seen has added a large number of links to a 
page to just a handful of sites. This has got to be atypical user 
behaviour (who wants to create a large page with loads of links). 
Couldn't this be a metric for spamming?
