: How does website with strange names help SEO? Whenever i search for my website name in google to see if someone has given link to my website i see many new strange website name for product

This is certainly blackhat SEO. These companies create many websites, each without any actually useful content, which they then link to your sites. The reason for the strange names is that they are randomly generated without human interaction, and also because it helps to bypass some filters.

If the links are not visible when viewed with a browser, that further confirms that these are not legitimate sites or links. The fact that they mention your site may temporarily boost your ranking, but as has already been mentioned, once Google finds out about it, they mark your site.

A good rule of thumb is that if a site or a page isn't of actual value to somebody by itself, such as a well-written original article, then it shouldn't be ranking, and you shouldn't accept links from it.

This appears to me to be a black hat SEO technique. They appear to be creating a network of sites that exist solely to link to their main site.

If Google finds out about this, Google will likely remove the sites from the search results. If you want to tell Google about this you can report web spam to Google through search console: www.google.com/webmasters/tools/spamreport?hl=en-gb
