Taking pay for links means you may be gambling with Google Nov 23rd 2013, 18:40, by Dan Tynan Every few months it seems I get the same email pitch. Somebody wants to pay me to publish a link to their client's site on one of my blogs. The client almost always turns out to be a casino. Last week I got another one, from someone calling himself "John" at Discover Media UK. He offered to write a 300-word guest post on any topic I wished and pay me up to $120 for it, so long as the post included a link to his client. When I asked who his client was, he told me point blank: GamingClub, an Australian online casino. But this was not my first time at this particular rodeo.

They were a bit cagier about whom they were representing, but a little Internet sleuthing revealed the name of their client: PartyBingo.com.
