That it's obvious and lame.

It hurts their brand more than they think...

I think posts like that should be removed.  The occasional link to your own site is fine, but the idea behind a blog is to share useful information with people.  Its not a place to promote your own products.  Unless someone specifically asks for information about your services, try to keep to sharing info others can use to help them better themselves or their careers.  People who do nothing but promote themselves/their companies haven't been doing their homework about social media!

I think people pick up pretty quickly when someone starts to do it and generally, we aren't shy at making our feelings known on this site! So hopefully, this will stay as a minority..

It happens all the time, even in the comments section. It's most annoying when there's no disclosure. When the author has a vested interest to promote something, they should disclose that. Just now I saw a commenter begin the sales pitch and refute the arguments of another user because the latter did not like the commenter's idea. Meanwhile pitcher never disclosed. Ugh.
