It might well just be a good-faith attempt to "add websites to OSM" rather than to drive traffic to any particular sites, although the selection of sites seems very narrow :) . In the example above, the site appears to be a 3rd-party one, but is the first search engine result after the local group's Facebook page.

Dave F via talk: ... From the wiki: The website tag can be used to provide the full URL to the *official website. *These are clearly not official. It is not so clear in my opinion. There are a lot of links to subdomains of areafish.com. Offical websites does not have to be on second level domains. according to https://areafish.com/we-offer/ they offer various plan for hosting websites. So if these put fishing lakes are customers of areafish.com and can edit and update their websites, I would call them official. Some of the websites are tagged on e.g. just natural=water, they should be on fishing nodes. But it often not clear if a website is official. There are a lot of pizza places here in DK that do have their own second level domains. But the content is very similar and based on the same few templates. And developed by some food order & delivery company. (eg EatOnline). When you order from them, it is handled by the same backend. And they never list a phone number so that you can call and order without using the order company, even then such a number do exists. I suspect that the pizza makers can add menu items and prices but otherwise have little control over the website. But I guess we have to accept them as official if they are printed on store fronts, paper menus, etc. And we should make an effort to tag the phone numbers in OSM. -- Niels Elgaard Larsen ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk

[OSM-talk] Dubious websites added to tourist attractions?
Hi You may wish to take a look at these changesets by a single contributor to decide if you think these are dubious websites added to tourist attractions. https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/Aliaksandr%20Kopyshau/history#map=1/37/3 The one in my locale had poor spelling (translation to English?) & grammar, took a long time to load & claimed if was copyright of the organisation/object that the webpage was about, even though it clearly wasn't (It was a bridge owned by the local authority). They all have similar, yet slightly different URLs From the wiki: The website tag can be used to provide the full URL to the *official website. *These are clearly not official.
