I've always wondered if there was a god. And now I know there is -- and it's me

I have been offered up to 250$ for accepting guest posts or pages on my larger sites. It is a typical spam method that can destroy your site.

They want to use another person's website as a buffer from Google. After posting the article and seeing it indexed, they will blast their article on your site with very questionable methods like comment posting, forum spam, profile links and worse. This will increase their rankings as your authority and new inbound links will pass on juice to them.

As long as it works, you and your customer will benefit, but when penalty will happen, you are screwed. Not their, but your site will be hit with a penalty and it will be painful. Worst case: your site will be de-indexed from Google.

Be careful.
