If I write paid to blog content once a week on my blog, will it hurt my Google ranking?

Hank asked:


I’m thinking about using SocialSpark to write a few paid to blog stories.

   Google does not like paid to blog posts. Matt Cutts, a Google engineer and head of their anti spam team, here clearly described why Google does not like paid to blog posts

   The posts just mentions that from a user’s perspective, paid blog posts are not useful. And with Google, if they think the post is not useful, then they will not give it top rankings.

   And doing a lot of that can eventually affect your blog, as Google will think you’re blog is nothing but a paid-to-blog type of blog

   I’d be very careful if I were you. You may not be affected now, but you’re threading on the gray zone area and sooner or later, Google penalties may kick in

   Yes, it is because SocialSpark require a sponsor link on your blog. So, It is better to write for some paid to blog site which not required to put the sponsor link. You can try SR
