Is this new? Near-gibberish "blogs" that are part of link rings have been around for at least a decade or so. Places used to sell "SEO" services where they'd have hundreds of automated wordpress blogs that would link to each other (to increase their inbound link count which affected Google SERP placement and PageRank) and to the target site / product. It worked quite well. The modern equivalent I see a ton of is when I search for something like "best _____ 2023" looking for reviews, I get a bunch of sites that just list a dozen terrible Amazon products with affiliate links to each. They're not actual reviews, they just re-state the product description but frame it as a review. It's obvious that the person / machine writing these "posts" has zero experience with the product, as they tend to point out irrelevant features and basically just say that every single one is a great choice, when none of the products mentioned are any mainstream known-good brands. Of course, when I just tried a few examples ("hammocks", "work boots", "steam irons", "backpacks") I couldn't find any of these sites, so maybe they've cleaned up lately, but I swear for the past few years it seemed like every search result for products led inevitably to an Amazon affiliate link farm blog.
