That kind of spam is fairly common on abandoned, unused or just not-regularly maintained webpages, basically added by a bot that crawls the web looking for unsecured pages (or pages with easily exploited vulnerabilities) and then inserts pre-determined text to the page.
What I'm not sure about is whether the point is to actually drive traffic to the linked site (unlikely), or just as SEO hacking (having more pages link to a page means that page will show up higher on Google and other search engine results).
