Link posting is all about how fashionable hip and cool you are, particularly your style and colour of head wear! 

You see, same in fashion and the world of SEO, search engine optimization, a hat is the apex of attention!. 

In SEO terms the phrase always relates to three colours Black, white and grey! 

Let's explain those briefly. 

It is the kind of SEO that leaves me constantly looking over my shoulder and in fear of "soiling my under pants" from a Google Penalty!.

While the techniques are not "illegal" as many in the Blackhat World or world of SEO would have you believe. Google is not the law, are not the law and never ever will be!. 

They are not a government agency or organisation. 

But, 

Go against their ToS and T&C's and you risk your business not getting any highly targeted traffic from their billions of searches performed on a daily basis!. 

Which makes going against their recommendations a pretty dumb idea! 

As you have guessed it - blackhat is very much the murky world of underhand SEO and in all essence attempts to cheat and trick search engines into artificially ranking a website higher than it should. 

It really is a case of cutting off your nose in spite of your face, very short term thinking, for short terms gains. 

...And the short term gain will probably be spent on toilet paper due to that squeeky bum and "pooping your panties" in fear of a google penalty...

If not, all is not lost, your undies are clean ...and you will use the andrex to wipe away your tears as you cry like a little bitch when you do get that inevitable google penalty!. 

As you have guessed it Black Hat SEO involves the use of Link Building and to an extent genuine legit Link Posting Jobs exist for this reason and are kinda "murky" at best.

And in this sense it not exclusively just the posting of links that is required but other jobs in which the creation of fake links for Web2.0 properties made by a famed American SEO company

...and lets avoid litigation here and call them "the little red monster of SEO inc" or were employed by "Black Hat Matt from Manchester" to set up a PBN or to post on Quora or create a Wiki page, I would personally define these as legit link posting jobs as the whole core of the job is the link, it is all about the link. 

White Hat SEO is as you have already guessed Search Engine Optimisation strategies and techniques that are fully compliant with googles terms or service and conditions.

No fake link building or link posting or creation for the purpose of "cheating the system". 

...And there is no weighing up of the options or the tossing of a coin between  selling your first born or selling a kidney to fix the problems caused by malpractices and bad SEO to recover your business!. 

• What Is Grey Hat SEO

As it sounds it is a mix of the good and the bad. Not quite full on Black hat SEO, not squeeky clean either. 

Best avoided also, might not incur a large "toilet paper bill" or the sale of your off spring or body parts but will require you pack an extra pair of undies and have some savings, just in case!. 

As I discussed earlier legit link posting jobs do exist but they do involve in this day and age much more than just the spamming of links to social media, Q&A sites, public forums, blog comments and so on!

It involves much more work suck the creation of 500, 1000 and up to 2,000 word articles for both genuine and fake websites (read PBN's Private blogging networks) and web 2.0 properties and guest posting as  ghost writer for a known blogger. 

Pay for those tasks performed can actually be pretty good, particularly if and when you land a regular gig on Upwork or a known SEO agency as a freelancer. 

Earning can and will depend on circumstances and the individual website owner or SEO agency.

Yes, a full time income can be earned from this type of link posting job. 

Ahrefs - the leading SEO software and corporation based out of Singapore. The Ahrefs bot is THE most active crawler bot outside of Googles own Google Bot by a huge margin. 

It is even more active than Yahoo and Bingbot! Other SEO analysis and Big Data companies just don't even come close to the sheer amount of data collected and accuracy of data provided by Ahrefs. 

The importance of this Software service provider and the power and accuracy of their bot is important to proving the relevance of links in terms of SEO and ranking factors due to the results and findings of a full on case study per formed by the Singapore based big data company. 

Far too many "two bob" experts will tell you that links have no relevance in SEO terms. Their words are based on hearsay, not hard facts, data or research performed by a team of data scientists and analysts. 

Links are incredibly important, the most important factor in search engine rankings and SEO. 

Let the facts speak for them selves. Not Hearsay!.

The value of backlinks for SEO purposes has sprouted up its very own genuine and bonafide cottage industry of black hat SEO!

And the value of links are not going to go away anytime soon as backlinks are a genuine way of one website owner to reference another website. Backlinks are a genuine way of one site "talking" to another saying "I like you, I value you/your information!". 

Backlinks are also good for a user, a website visitor and thus will always have some kind of value. 

Even is the value was zero, an visitor can click that link and arrive at another site which in itself brings in value in terms of Google Rank brain algorithm (the link becomes a source of traffic) and user experience kicks in (time on site, pages visited, how a user interacted with the site..). 

Thus we understand the tremendous importance of backlinks for both SEO and ranking purposes.

Rank higher, get more traffic, get more sales!. This true for both Affiliate marketing, ecommerce and sites monetised in variety of other ways including display ads, membership fees and coaching/consulation services. 

Thus the birth of the link posting industry and earning/gaining of links for websites seeking to gain an advantage over competitors. and whole blackhat link posting shenanigans 

• Why Should You Avoid BlackHat SEO Link Posting Jobs

While I fully understand you have a genuine and very real need to earn money, pay bills and feed mouths. 

While I won't judge your if you do chose to do this kind of link posting work, everyone has to live their lives, pay their bills...

But,

Do you really want to earn your money knowing that you are doing damage to someone's business and livelihood? 

Website and blog owner have bills to pay too and families to take care of just like you. They might not know what they are doing or have been duped by the SEO company into thinking they are white hat seo.

The little red monster SEO agency inc and Blackhat Matt from Manchester both pass themselves off as white hat SEO agencies...and couldn't be further from the truth!.

No!. 

The make money posting links for companies opportunity thing going is mostly, and predominately a scam with a ton of fake link posting jobs advertised. 

This is not 2011! back then link posting was massive and folks (read website owners) did fall into the huge backlinks thing when all you needed to rank well was a TON of backlinks, like a big huge popularity contest. 

As you have guessed, Google got smart on that and very much reclassified dramatically how they calculate and value links to a given site and ton of spammy links that are bought and paid for (called unnatural or blackhat links) will earn you a demotion in the ranking at best and at worse...

Get your site banned from Google!

Nobody, these days is going to legitimately pay someone to post links! 8/9/10..even 15 years ago maybe...not now! 

No matter how much is promised be it hundreds of bucks a day or thousands per month the job top post only links does not exist!.

As a webmaster and someone in the industry I can tell you that no single webmaster anywhere will pay someone just to spam out links to knowingly kill their site!. 

Afraid to break it to you, the possibility of you working from home posting link after link just copy past and copy paste...all day long just does n't exist!.

(besides, there are bots that do that for free and don't need a salary or a break!)

Alarm Bells!

The very first alarm bell going off should be the fact that these "link posting jobs" are not free and you need to pay $97 typically speaking for the privilege of doing so (all under the guise of a one off  membership fee or something similar!). 

Disgustingly so, some of these fake link posting job agencies employ a telesales team to call you up and convince you that you need an upgrade so that you can get access special training so that you can move forwards and earn significantly more. 

This nothing but a scam and nothing more than carrot dangling desperate and unsuspecting people. 

Sadly, some folks do end up losing thousands upon thousands of bucks! 

Given the age and how long these scams have been going it really has to be one of the longest running in the digital world. Sadly, there is no sign of it slowing down anytime soon!

As one gets shut down, another sprouts with a new name, but still the same old game! the Fake like posting jobs scam!. 

Afraid all of these so called jobs that promise you can Make Money Posting links for companies are not legit! 

No, you cannot work from home posting links only!. You task with a job of this nature will, in most likelihood involve other tasks and be as a full on VA. So called free link posting jobs are not legit, the ones that are available in the blackhat SEO world are what I would call morally illegit!.

Do no harm unto others! folks. Do good, get good back, do great things get great things back. 

Despite the fact that there are some legitimate link posting jobs available and you can make money working for a blackhat seo company you will be doing many other tasks.

The actual posting of links only forms a tiny small part of what your so called work from home job is. 

besides, you have to live with yourself knowing that you are digitally fire bombing someones online business - even if the actual business owner is unaware of what they are doing. 

Most....ok all.. of the other getting paid to post links jobs are not legit they are absolute scams.

Don't fall for that BS and get yourself out of that "work from home - work for someone else mentality and build your own online business.
