For what? I don't see any products or services being promoted in this article.

So to confirm, you don't trust blogs where the company is selling a product or service, even if they don't mention it in the article? If so, that would cover a lot of articles shared on this instance.

That's kind of the point. You're not supposed to.

They're farming links so search engines see their domain as more important. That way, their entry will appear higher up on search results against competitors for their paid products.
