If you really want to get in touch with those folks, their contact info is all over those urls.

Is it this sort of stuff? If so then yes, that is 100% generated with the sole purpose of you visiting those links and forwarding you to their service sites. These links are only there to advertise on Ahrefs etc, they don't get crawled by Google. Virtually every new domain gets these shortly...
