Is Overstock.com spamming?

I got this email from Overstock. Seems like an automated system saw that one of my posts mentioned the phrase "air mattress" and sent links to Overstock's mattress sections. A real person who really saw my site would know that it has nothing to do with mattresses.

Just curious about what's going on here.

I hope not. I really like Overstock but this is lame if it's what it looks like.
