They're going to help their clients by writing useful, policy compliant articles? Damn them!
In all seriousness, apart from the suggestion of meatpuppetry, it sounds like it might actually be a good service. The internet is on the way to becoming a much better place now search engine algorithms are forcing SEOs to produce useful content to get high rankings.

Like so? http://xkcd.com/810/
judging from their website, I don't think it will be very long before they get their IP(s) blocked, but if they do generate high quality content, even commercially, I don't see the problem.
