Forbes Spam?

PageRank 8 site Forbes.com has a little “special advertising” section leading to such pages as ...

• Auto Insurance Quotes
  (forbes.com/auto_insurance_quotes.html)
• Ecommerce Hosting
  (forbes.com/ecommerce_hosting.html)
• Home Loans
  (forbes.com/home_loans.html)
• Life Insurance Leads
  (forbes.com/life_insurance_leads.html)
• Online Degrees
  (forbes.com/online_degrees.html)
• Real Estate
  (forbes.com/real_estate.html)
• Debt Consolidation Loan
  (forbes.com/debt_consolidation_loan.html)
• Mesothelioma Attorney
  (forbes.com/mesothelioma_attorney.html)

Keywords like these are often used on spam pages, and I wonder if all these pages are meant for human readers to digest – the URLs linked on the online universities ad page even contain the string “ForbesSEO”.
