I don't think this PH post really does justice to just how cool it is. Spam call directories aren't a new invention. In fact, you can put your number on the FCC's "do not call list." But the problem has always been achieving a critical mass of trusted reports. (Sort of like the chicken and egg problem new social networks face). They've come up with a very clever way of finding spammers. Here's a great description taken from the Glimpse trendfinder email list (meetglimpse.com): "Robocalls are only getting worse, and RoboKiller, an app designed to help block these unwanted calls, has devised a brilliant SEO strategy to reach the millions of Americans who are desperate for a solution. 89% of the site’s traffic comes from search, but searches for ‘RoboKiller’ only account for 0.5% — instead, the vast majority originate from people trying to identify the phone numbers that just called them. This works because the company has generated around one million landing pages for individual phone numbers — one for each number that people commonly search after getting a robocall. The approach has been so successful that the company’s site visits soared from 375,000 in May 2019 to 2.5 million in October."
