It's
SEO, Search Engine Optimization.
When search engines scour a site one of the things they track is outbound links.
Outbound links indicate there may be something interesting / relevant on the other end.
Cars + insurance is highly relevant and would count favorably in the ranking algorithm.
The more a site is linked to from other sites the higher the relevance / ranking in search engines.
It's not meant for us to act on and done in a way that we might even ignore / not notice. In fact they don't want us to notice it. Note how they try to post something that is somewhat relevant to the thread.
It's food for the search engines.
It's a bit more complicated than that but that's the basic gist of it.
