Everything that follows the ? are part of the GET request to the web server. Basically that means that this is a dynamic page and the values of the variables are getting passed to the program that builds the web page.

The pages that you linked to are in fact gibberish pages that are spam for search engine optimization. In fact, I think that this question isn’t even legitimate, but an attempt to get your pages higher in the search rankings. Very clever! You’ve been reported.
