Google Warns to Disclose Paid Content Properly
If you have a blog that gets a decent amount of traffic, chances are at some point you’ve received an email from an advertiser asking to buy advertising space or back links to their website within your blog article content. This happened to us a couple of months ago, we got an email from a ‘marketing agency’ in England asking if they could pay us to insert back links to their advertising clients’ websites, within a particular article on our blog. I naturally thought this was spam, and we don’t sell back links on our website or blog for any amount of money anyways, so I simply trashed it. However, this is actually pretty common and some people make a decent amount of money selling links within their article content. Well, the fun’s over now, as Google is starting to crack down on this as well.
