Found numerous posts about Linkstar.
Appears this is a way for them to build links to their websites to get higher rankings on search engines.
The ads are integrated into your page in a paragraph that is supposed to appear part of your normal copy, not as an advertisement,
with links to websites within the paragraphs.
The idea is that google will rank these links as more relevant for searches.
In this way, Linkstar could get a number of websites a high ranking for keyword searches that generate revenue.

Hi,
I work for Linkstar, a leading broker of online advertising, dealing with many thousands of independent webmasters worldwide.
I've had a look at Dancecalendar.info and think that it would be a good match for our client, whose target demographic is similar to
your own. We're working on their behalf to acquire advertising from quality websites such as your own.
We would be interested in purchasing advertising in the form of a text-based advert on your site. To reduce unnecessary admin and
hassle, we prefer to pay a fixed annual fee for such advertisements. Once the ad has been placed, payment can be made quickly by
PayPal or Moneybookers.
If you are interested, please get back to me with your rates etc. I look forward to hearing from you.
Kind regards,
Kat
