The big whoop is its not allowed. It's a referral and they are not allowed here.
What other kinds of posts are not permitted?
* No SPAM! This includes:
o Links to multi-level marketing schemes such as pay-to-surf or pay-for-referral sites, whether paid in cash or premiums.
o No links to auction sites. We do not consider auctions to be Hot Deals. Posting a link to your own auction offer may be reason to lock your account.
o No links to deals, promotions or offers by your own business or your employer. This is the "No Dealers" rule. We do not intend our forums as a free sales floor for your business. If you want to promote your company on AnandTech, contact our sales department about buying a banner ad.
* No links to gaming sites, tobacco products or pornographic or sexually explicit materials.
* No links to offers of OEM software without qualifying hardware or to software licenses without a qualifying installation disk (CD, etc.).
* No group buys. Sorry, but these deals have been costly to our members from both honest mistakes and outright fraud.
* No contest threads.
* No posting of referral links and no soliciting or requesting referrals by PM either.
