Hi Guys,

I wanted to ask all you SEO guru's a quick question, which I'm pretty sure I know the answer to, but I'm just looking for some clarity.

Is there a difference between paying for links and paying for content? A blogger has been emailing me, asking for money to place my blog article. Obviously I want links in the article to boost the rankings, but as everyone knows paying for links means you are susceptible to a penalty from Google.

I informed the webmaster that Google penalise paid links, but he has told me that I am not paying for links, I am paying for content which will not be penalised. I also went on to ask him if he normally asks contributors for money, to which he replied he never asks bloggers for money, but he will charge companies or websites.

Is it true that there is adifference between paid links and paid content? Also, is there anyone on here who has paid for links/content? If so, what was the outcome on your websites performance?

Kind regards,
Harry
