What is the purpose of the fake LJ accounts that just have bunches of links to all kinds of pages?

[I decided not to post the links, in case they do have malware in them]

The links are given random names and seem to point to webpages that aren't real either - just more bunches of strange links. If the links went to pages that were trying to sell stuff, it would make sense to me. But these just seem strange. Maybe the links are pointing to webpages that have malware in them, and their purpose is to lure someone without the appropriate malware-protection into clicking on the links and getting infected?

I guess they generate the random names in hopes of getting search engines to index them, and getting traffic from the search engines.

I've been puzzled, too! I mean, there's no point to it... it's just really random and nonsensical.
