Was looking for instances for Librephotos and came across sites like this. As you can see these sites contain the same type of information taken from official sources. If you click on the link, you will be redirected to a blank google search page.

What is all this done for?

    Sometimes it’s SEO bullshit. Manipulation of site associations and keywords to boost the rankings of other sites they’re associated with. Not for these sites specifically, but some other site. It’s weird and stupid and has to do with trying to reverse-engineer how a search engine ranks its results.
