Well, remember that these pages are going to appear in future search
results, and the sites displaying them are going to make money by
showing ads. So maybe it is a scheme like that stupid ehow site to
generate meaningless content that will match hot search topics. (If you
haven't noticed, there are now a bunch of sites that always show up in
searches where the content might as well have been generated by monkeys
with typewriters except that they seem to be about topics someone might
search for).
