OK, one message in "Free Tools" might have been acceptable. But she's also posted the same link in response to a message from 2011.

The QA answer looks reasonable at first glance, but has two links to her own site at the bottom - "Click Here" and "Learn more" - neither of which have any bearing on the question.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

Answering a two-year-old question with a link to his blog - which, unsurprisingly, links to a commercial product.

I'm not sure about this.

Yes it's a 2 year old question but that on it's own isn't a "bannable" offense is it?
Yes it has a link to a blog, not sure if it's his blog or not (most likely it is but no way to be sure), but if that blog contains the answer to the question isn't that allowed?
(yes better would be to actually copy the relevant info into the answer so that when the blog goes offline the answer still has value, and even better to then credit the blog (with a link))
And yes the blog recommends a tool (payable) but it's not his tool, and there is also a explanation of how to do it for free.

So I'm divided on this, and will give him the benefit of a doubt (for my part at least)
Will keep an eye on him tho.
