Except openSUSE is not your personal advertising site.  If openSUSE had some 
banner ad's or a designated space for text ad's, I'd be okay with you 
advertising here - paying for advertising, supporting the project, and not 
spam.

What you've said is not a link to a commercial back end, but, imho, damn near 
whoring.
