Spam Puzzle

I'm most perplexed by this, and can't seem to find information about it by Googling.

I frequently get spam stuff apparently from myself. As I don't sell Viagra or copy watches or whatever, I'm puzzled.

How do the real originators get my address into their spam? I have a small web site; that may be relevant.

Should anybody want to buy the willy-extender or whatever therein advertised, I presume he'll click on the link and... the message will arrive in my mailbox instead of that of the chaps trying to flog the gear. So why should they do it?

Even more relevant, is there some way I can stop the strange messages?

Many thanks for any hints, tips, used fivers...

Ol.
