| Sep 8, 2010 at 19:45 | comment | added | JNK | I am referring specifically to something like a link to a product webpage, and a copy/pasted glowing endorsement/description of the product FROM the webpage they are linking to. I.e. "<Software> is an extremely flexible, easy to use, and powerful application for the organization of widgets, cleaning of viruses, and shining of shoes! It has options to suit any user." | |
