Yeah... but much money? Sure, a few folks might click on a link out of curiosity or even by accident so someone earns a few pennies for that each time. Weight that against the cost of masking IPs, moving servers and changing providers, resources needed to send millions of email messages, dealing with millions of bounce backs, likely network admins to help hide your trace, and then add in software like xrumor... I'd be really curious to see balance sheets from a moderate spammer operation. Porn used to be a license to print money but it's not anymore. Yes, there are some adult websites making very good money but they are not the norm and I suspect spam would be the same.
