Rather clever actually. Have someone ask a question, then answer it with a link to your commercial product a few days later. Of course, the company that sells this has no address on their web site or contact information.
I don’t mind people sharing commercial products on this blog that are useful and helpful for solving problems, but not when the conversation has nothing to do with the blog post and all contact information is hidden.
