PageRank, Google's algorithm, uses a link to see what sites are important - think of it as a referral but go ahead and look up more details - so in this case it looks like they've hacked the site to quietly insert some links back to them thereby helping their SEO...

static content, isn't it?  Did they penetrate the backend database? 
Or perhaps root the linux kernel and change all shared hosting sites
