Whats going on with these spam links?!

    I was doing some googling this morning and did a search for "inurl: instantspot.com", accidentally leaving a space in there.

    http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-US%3Aofficial&hs=IP6&q=inurl%3A+instantspot.com&btnG=Search

    And what I found was seemingly random websites that contained links to member sites on the InstantSpot network intermingled with all sorts of spam-like text/links. Asian porn, medicine, etc.

    I know there is little we can do about removing those links, but I have some questions about the practice. What does that do to our google results? Why would somebody add our links into their spam?

    Thanks!

    Scraper sites. I wouldn't worry about it.

    How does placing links to sites on my network help/hinder/etc their spam content? I just can't seem to understand the motive here.
