Suspicious activity for domains .co.cc

While doing some google searches for particular keywords, with a specific google search we have noted that in some cases the websites found have the same URL after the .co.cc and that all of them use a $_GET['k'] query related to the keyword I was searching for. Almost all the links found have also the same HTML template and they look like to be non-live websites, maybe are used to capture keywords or are related to some kind of SEO poisoning activity:
