What is SO's policy on questions like this fresh one?

To me, it reeks like traffic / PR whoring, even though it might be a legit question.

What to do? Close? Remove the link? Leave as is?

Edit: The question already answered itself:

closed as spam by Michael Todd, AdaTheDev, Chacha102, Andomar, mopoke 15 secs ago

That is what the Close as Spam Button is for.

Regardless of motivation (and in this case, the motivations are not good), questions and answers that consist of only a link are equally frowned upon.

7 Downvotes, Closed as Spam, and link edited out, all in less than 8 minutes. Good job Stack Overflow Community, you know it when you see it.

  • To be fair, the OP edited the link out himself after people objected to it.

    The removal of the link is still an effect of community action.
