Dude, seems like you have never done internet marketing. Affiliate link is only spam when the content is shit. This post provides value to people who were looking for the list of exchanges they can promote (that's how I ended on this post). I'm actually quite pissed of on this war on affiliate links. So I repeat once again - It's not the links that makes it spam, it's the content or lack of it. And this article was on to the point. Sure it included affiliate links - so fucking what? Noone has anything to loose while this guy makes money.

It's not fear of spam, it's greed that gets such posts flaged. Shame, shame shame ...
