PLaneT is result #9 for google (w/ no cookies) for the word "planet".
Thus I would guess that having links from there to your spam web page
greatly increases its google rank, which is what the spammers are
after. No one buys Cialis after seeing it on planet -- they want
people who search for "buy cialis online" to find them.
