I have found ensemble of the pages like
www .qksrv. net / click-<just some numbers>
This is just redirect, without any text
How this possible?

I've seen a number of those too. Interestingly, all of them are cj.com affiliate links. Never seen a linkshare or other affiliate network link like that.

Wonder how these people are doing it? Some of the pages actually seem to rank fairly high, which is interesting.

A common thread with these links is that no page exists for public consumption. Clicking on the link in google takes you directly to whoever the merchant is. I find it really strange that google somehow even listed these pages.

Case for the "google spam" submission, or is something like this actually legal?

Google is not only indexing such CJ links but also considering these links as backlink for the related merchant's site. Strange!

Check which links return 302 and which return 301.
That's most likely your answer.

We are not doing anything, google just happens to follow some of these links. It was really bad last July/August, I had a number one spot for a particular merchant.
