Valid Use of Metadata

Interesting business model that seems to be cropping up on the web. I was surfing the web looking for metadata information and came across a reference to some of my work that did not seem to fit the title. The basic search result described a site where you could find step-by-step instructions on how to write an executive summary. But why would my stuff show up on this site, since I am maybe the worse writer in the history. Well it turns out they are nothing but a search result aggregator that wraps a web site around a result set and my research showed because I had used the keywords Executive Summary. So the question is this a viable business model? Is this a valid use of Metadata?
