If Google Doesn't Like Paid Links - Then What Are Ads?Someone contacts you

[anamika78]

Hello ..
Someone contacts you and says, hey, can I pay you to place my blog post and link back to me? What's the difference with that and say, an affiliate link such as Amazon from my site?


Am I being dumb here?

I thought Google etc dont like paid traffic - or am I wrong?

I think it's no more difference between "pay for backlinks" and "link exchange" method, I don't know how Google know a link "is Paid" and a link " is natural" . can anyone can show me any explanations?
