I am subscribed to Google Alerts in case a new page comes up mentioning a product.
I keep getting strange pages that are being added which contain these keywords. For example see <snip/>
Will this hurt SE rankings at all?

I might be misunderstanding your question here, but I thought Google Alerts simply alerted you to new content on the Internet, based on your specified keywords. I can’t see how Google Alerts could have any effect on your own site’s SE rankings.
Or are you saying that the new pages which Google is reporting are actually on your site?
I am not quite sure why the example page was removed. But they are generally weird URL’s, make no sense, and have just a bunch of content. Not even links or anything…
But these are simply pages which Google is reporting as containing your chosen terms, yes? They’re not on your site, or linking to you in any way?
Because if that’s the case, as I’ve already said, they can’t hurt your rankings in any way.
Yes, that is correct. They do not link to me. It just seems to be some weird form on keyword stuffing pages that nobody would look at…
But if it does not hurt if there are no links, I will stop worrying about it
Thanks!
Excellent.
