I regularly visit spamvertised websites with my browser... to see if
they're still up after I've hit them for a couple dozen GB of data
using FriedSpam.net. But, I run my Internet Zone locked down (I surf
with Java, Javascript, ActiveX and everything else disabled), and
visit the spamvertised website via anonymous proxies.

If it's down, I add it to my 'kill' list... which I check once a week.
If a website comes back to life, I visit it again to be sure the
domain wasn't sold and a different website set up on it. If it's the
same spamvertised website, it goes right back into the FriedSpam list.

I've noticed lately that the spammers will take their websites down
until they start another spam run, then carefully watch their visitor
stats. Once the stats start dropping, they close down the website to
prevent people who are of a like mind with myself from performing
extensive 'data draining' of that site. So, I hit them as hard as I
can while I can.
