It all comes back to money.
Spammers are paid to put as many of these up on sites where people may click the links. Think of it as a penny per post. Then the people paying the spammers get paid like 2 cents for each time someone clicks on one of the spam links. Usually the people who clicked and went to the site get malware installed on their computers just by visiting the site, which allows internet bad guys to steal their information, gain entry to corporate networks, or eventually use the infected computer for other forms of internet crime. Those sites installing the malware then sell lists of infected computers to other internet bad guys, and making money.

Has to do with how busy the site is, and how many times things get clicked on. Just one click put the site onto hundreds of "active" sites and other spammers soon follow. The only way we were able to get rid of it on other sites was to make every new registrant reviewed by site Admins.
If you guys (Houdini and other(?) site Admins) need help with this, let me know. Been Admining internet forums for years.
