I'm Stumped! Can you figure it out?

Ok, so I have word filter bots out there that trip whenever certain terms make their way around the web. That way, I look really smart, and know what's going on.

I keep tripping over pages like this one:

http://krwwqomjweja.cn/401.html

Always a cryptic name, and usually *.cn

I understand they are trying to get Google to notice the page as "relevant text on subjects(s.)"

But what's the end game? WHY are they doing it? It seems to be circular. the links on the page just go to other pages of the same ilk????

Where are they making the coin?

I bet this is the Est*/Klik group doing some kind of seo stunt to support other seemingly "normal" sites. .cn domains are not among the cheapest and there are thousands and thousands of these sites.

I am pretty sure they are stupidly basing their activities on incorrect beliefs or assumptions about how SEO works as well.

From other examples I have frequently seen it seems they are doing things they think will help them, when in fact the opposite is true.

And btw, my ban list on my board includes

*@*.ru and *@*.cn since that is where most of the bots and spammers some from.

it is a VERY old school way of creating doorway pages

i used to create thousands of those a day, probably still have a ton up somewhere

keywords and inbound links is that game

google is smarter now though, they will ban those in days

And now they've changed it already.
But here's the thing. all the links on the page were for just as cryptic links, just random strings of letters of pages that were the same.

The only way I see this doing anything is if they built up all this incoming link popularity, swapped it out for a valid sales item page, skating on the popularity, until google caught up to it?

That's the only thing I see? Seems like an awful lot of work for a small, questionble, return.
