At the risk of asking people on the internet to explain things to me, can anyone tell me why someone would want to create a fake expert who gives quotes on many unrelated topics as described in this article?

It seem to be related to search engine optimization, but I can't figure out why you'd want links related to a bunch of different topics.

Are they redirecting the links somewhere else after the fact? Would that even work? Or is it something else?
