We have recently gotten support from a website called Pokerlistings, which is a site featuring editorial content about poker, such as guides to playing poker online. Their content team is currently working on a campaign to support websites that offer great content freely to visitors. We've been selected because of our editorial content about free software and operating systems. Thanks guys.

This blog looks like an SEO-shilling content farm. No-wonder their "content" is so idiotic.

The website in the link is down. I hope it stays down.

UPDATE: The comments to that "article" have all been deleted!

23 of them, almost all of which were (predictably) in disagreement.
