Lead alloy

**DAVIS125** · 09-23-2008, 03:09 PM

I am interested in knowing the exact combination of metals and other things in the lead alloy used in the surfacing process. Anybody know?

No Problem. Somebody will probably be along shortly with an answer, at which point we can ban both usernames and delete another tag team "pair" Q & A session.

You don't mean to suggest that a person might ask about metallurgy on a webmaster forum to gain a backlink, do you?

Definitely a Spammer. Why not just delete the thread now?

Why on earth would anybody want to spam the internet with lead alloy??

Notice the #1 result in Google (for me, anyway) is a programming board, and the #2 is a web admin board.

I'm just curious to find out how some link drop spammer is going to answer a question about lens surfacing without it looking totally stupid.

That's what I'm wondering. It's not even for the sake of sig link.

117 alloy used for blocking is a Eutectic Fusible Alloy and its primary component is Bismuth. (The price has gone up, up, up over the past 18 months)

Fusible Alloys include a group of binary, ternary, quaternary, and quinary alloys containing Bismuth, lead, tin, cadmium and indium. The term fusible alloy refers to any of the more than 100 white-metal alloys that melt at relatively low temperatures.

BOOM! There it is!

**chrishirst** · 09-25-2008, 03:11 AM

I just thought I would add a link of my own to this thread

www.webwisemedia.com
Yep, that's right www.webwisemedia.com

This is the "company" that are responsible for the "SEO" of www.nathantrotter.com so are more than likely to be employing the spamming numpty that started this thread.

I've also sent an email to nathantrotter.com and there will be a thread here later.

It's true because it's in a red font.

Google shows 117 web sites that have been spammed with this answer. http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q...earch&aq=f&oq=

If I was going to hire somebody to spam for me, I'd want them to be a lot less obvious about it.

I love how the username and name match up for spammer #3

**KML9870** · 09-28-2008, 09:02 PM

Didn't want to disappoint and not ban spammer #3.
