Out of respect to the company you were trying to promote here, I’ve removed the link to their website.
Kindly note the “Kindly include disclosure of relationship with nominee” message in the text.

Apparently you’re an avid “user” of said product, and tend to post “innocent” questions in multiple places about their products.

The thing is, sure, they could be included in one of the categories. But your attempt for SEO is too blunt.

Normally I would delete a comment such as yours altogether; but I decided to answer up front. And commenting like that for this particular post is completely out of place.

I don’t see that you should be using my blog to secretly-aggressively promote your company. I say this as I’ve met with several of its employees on good terms. Kindly refrain from doing so in the future.

If you had something similar, could this be nominated in one of the categories?

Would appreciate your professional opinion. Thanks!
