OTOH, I don't exepct 1-URL spam to survive -- there's no motivation to click the link.

Curiosity? There are few clues to the human that it is spam too.
I talked about the novelty factor before, and didn't want to repeat it. For 1-URL spam to *survive* means we see lots of them over time. As a 1-shot trick it may be effective, but it gets old very fast, and I can't imagine anyone clicking on a link like http://abcdefgh.lewdmother.com a second time <wink>. BTW, don't click on that -- it's a live URL, and lewdmother.com doesn't care what you (or they) put before the first dot. It's an obnoxious porn site that pops up a sequence of browser windows in full-screen mode. Clicking on just one of those would be enough to stop just about anyone from clicking on a 1-URL msg from a stranger again.
