So you are allowed to have a link to your website (for an affiliate product), even in this newbie forum?

Why would he not be allowed to do so? He was informative and the link as presented only leads to his blog where more is to be found.
Should it even matter that, once there, you would encounter affiliate links?
Let us be serious about this. To start, we are members of a forum related to earn money online. I may assume that you also would like to earn money online. Without being disrespectfull why would you not let the original poster earn by being informative?
You see, ( and please do not take this personal) I see a lot of people around different forums who all want to make momeny, who all are promoting their specific programs but get angry when others use methods which lead to making money. Is there not an attitude required here among us which would ask to ......... ( my english is so poor.......) be nicer to eachother about this? For example, why would I ask you to join a program using my affiliate link and then refuse to use yours if you presented a program to join?
This is what it's all about. Learning from eachother and use the tools we see being used by others.
So to conclude, what the original poster did was a nice act of internet marketing. Being nice, being informative and leading to a site where more information could be found giving the reader still the free choice of clicking on those links or not.
Please forgive me if I sound a little like a wiseguy. I do not mean to be disrespectull, I only share what I see.
