I can't bring myself to trust this opinion when an affiliate link is used.
It looks like the author also added Blog Planner[1] to the list which they wrote, it uses the same GA account ID. You should really disclose these things. I don't have an issue with using affiliate links, but I think should clearly disclose them.
