There has been a lot of talk about these "get paid to post Google links" programs. These programs have nothing to do with posting links for Google at all. In fact this is just a fancy name for the Google adsense program.

Someone had the wise idea of coming up with a different name for Google adsense to confuse everyone. This is what a marketer might call "spin" - taking an idea and blowing it way out of proportion. Google adsense has been around for almost a decade, and this new 'posting links for Google' idea makes it sound like Google adsense is something new. They are the same thing!

"Posting links for Google" doesn't exist!

First of all they are not links

They are ads (advertising). They always have been referred to as ads, adsense units, or Google advertising. Not Google links. They are not links. If you open your HTML code you won't see links there, you'll see an advertising code.

For almost a decade web marketers and small business circles have been talking about them as Google ads, not as posting links for Google. The person that came up with this idea of calling them links only aims to confuse others and deceive to rip them off based on a program that, dare I say it again, has been around for almost 10 Years.

If you call Google adsense ads "links that I posted for Google" you are not only misleading others, but possibly breaching Google's TOS.

Secondly - You are not posting them

You cannot post links for Google, you can install their advertising code or monetize your website, but you are never actually posting links for them. You are running CPC ads on your website, hub pages, or blog, plain and simple. There is no "posting" going on. You also have almost no control over which ads will show up. In addition, image ads may show up, they are not links, they are ads.

Finally, for those people who have been under a rock for the last 20 years

Links are relationships a webmaster creates between one page and another page. The webmaster chooses the link.

On the other hand advertisments are installed (not posted) by a webmaster on a template (not a page) and the webmaster doesn't choose the ad URL, because, well, it's not a link.

This "Posting links for Google" thing needs to be cleared up once and for all.
