It is a part of an ad campaign probably run by some scammer.

It's your lucky day! These sorts of things always seems to pop up from time to time, i have probably received about 0.1 BTC all up from different sorts of btc advertising over the years.

Yup. If you read the note on blockchain with that transaction, they are saying that you have received a return on investment from their website. The idea is that you are tricked into thinking that the site will pay out and that you will earn money. However, it is probably a ponzi, and by going to their site, you may also get a virus or lose bitcoin because they got you to think that they were legit.

Idk what is the point of that, but to me it seems that they are just helping to clog the blockchain by sending small amount of bitcoins to random addresses. That isn't a good thing to advertise imo. There are many other options for advertising, not by just spamming the blockchain.

I'd just like to say, if anybody would like to send some free satoshis my way, my address is 13SxntLeuC2Y9z3pE8n53oxNBTFas5SE6D, and any funds sent there will NOT be used for any illegal or nefarious purposes. It is true that I don't like most people, but the sucker in me keeps looking for the good in each everyone. I like sunshine and puppy dogs and would do just about anything which is the equivalent to standing on my head and spitting nickels for BTC.
Thank you all and have a good day.

That is a most excellent thing to write, why it´s quite, oh never mind, would not want to offend any atheists around here.
Also your whole note was very funny, made my evening.

When I went to their "last payouts page" on their site, I noticed that the payments were sent from all different addresses. I would guess that they just found transactions on the blockchain and linked them to their site but I could be wrong.

New form of marketing. They send you dust and they you go and search for the source of that dust. Very cheap and effective.

I do not know, if it is VERY effective indeed. If you know about the effect of "dust" in a account, it would most probably frustrate you more than being curious to investigate where it came from. I doubt if I would support companies, who is spamming the blockchain and my Bitcoin address. For it being "cheap"? ---> For sure it's cheap... but you pay for quality, and you get peanuts for this type of "blind" marketting. It's similar to these Ad spam bots... people hate it.

It is most probably to be very effective and extremely cheap. There's a lot of people it can get to. Once the transaction confirms as well, it's there forever. So on famous addresses that gets thousands of views, like satoshi's first block.

It ties your one address (the one receiving these BTC) to some of your other addresses. This happens when your wallet bundles amounts from your various addresses into one total amount you happen to send. Transactions with many inputs to form a larger output give whoever wants to look assurance that the same person owns all the input keys.
Like dust sprinkled to make a light beam easier to see, this is just dust sprinkled randomly to make block-chain key ownership analysis easier.
