[OPLINLIST] Weird page

[Paris Robertson]

It is done to drive traffic to their website.  They utilize a web crawling
bot that will select sample text from thousands of different sites and
insert all that text randomly onto their website.

Then, search engine sites, include this "website" in their results because a
specific query that a user is looking for has a much higher chance of
directing them to the site.

Once there, the goal is to have referral clicks from ads or some other form
of revenue generating widget utilized by the person who had originally done
the search.

I see this kind of thing every now and then, maybe once a week, and I can
only assume they do this to somehow drive more traffic to their website.
They seem to just randomly select a chunk of text from the OPLIN website.
