1. An overly familiar greeting to strangers.
2. A line like, "I just came across this neat sight" As if you
"stumbled" upon it and just have to tell the world.
3. Post a generalized link to the site rather than a direct link to
the subject at hand, forcing people to dig through the site (and the
ads) to find the subject.
4. Use "cheers" as the post sign-off, it is the standard spam sign off
used across usenet.

Gidday mates.
While stumbling around the net, I came across this neat site (sight?):
http://www.killfile.org/~tskirvin/faqs/spam.html
and AFAIK, if you read through the article and check links to other
related sites, then you'll probably find that this isn't a spam message.
Cheers
