There is not a human being behind this, but a "spam bot", a computer who's sole life is to probe forums software and post links. It boils down to the same thing that spam callers looking for a sucker to bite on their "apple" (so to speak), all it takes is one click on a link enclosed by an unsuspecting end user, and a click through profit has now been made. 1-2 cents at a time. Sometimes it's just getting that link out to the web so web bots such as google and many others grab it and archive it. Again, times it by a million such posts in a 24 hour day, and you start to see the profit center emerge.
