David Wilkinson, apparently only 13 years old, have been given a guest post on shoemoney.com
It isn't the first post on Shoemoney by David, but it is the first blatent sales pitch post. See the full article here.
This post has to date been commented on 128 times. He has caused quite a stir by blatently adding an affiliate link to a link cloaking product, several times.
As I have posted in the comments, I believe the backlash is more about Shoemoney allowing this on his blog rather than the ballsy attempt by this guy to make some money off the back off shoe's 10000 regular readers. Shoemoney is usually very good at highlighting if a post is an advert or paid for post.
David has been very aggressive in his responses to the comments (mainly negative) and although he doesn't think so, I believe it will damage his reputation within the online marketing world.
I hope he makes enough out of this to make it worthwhile.
James
