What is the exact difference between guest post and paid links?

@zeitnot When Google analyzes the post, it looks for some key things. One is a sponsored disclosure. It can say “sponsored,” “paid,” or “advertisement,” and should be easy to spot.
Google also checks the content to see if it’s promoting something specific. It may come as paid material if there’s a lot of promotional language or mentions of some products or brands without context.
Another thing Google looks for is affiliate links or patterns of content creation. If a website regularly posts sponsored or promotional content without saying so, it won’t appear as a high-quality source of information.

The main difference between guest posting and paid links is that with guest posting, you're providing valuable content for free. With paid links, you're just paying for a link. So from Google's perspective, guest posts are seen as more trustworthy than paid links. That's because when someone publishes a guest post on another blog, it's usually because they've been given permission by the blog owner to do so. I've made some guest postings for my friend's website when he started with dropshipping, and I've managed to land a few great guest posts for him, that increased the DR of the site eventually. Now, not gonna lie here, it's definitely a harder way to go, but if you put in the effort and do it consistently you'll see great results with GP, without putting any risk to the business.

@zeitnot In Guest Posting, you add your Comments/ Blog content on a High authority website with a link to your website , While paid links refer to posts contributed to a website with monetary charge in exchange for quality backlinks

@zeitnot Well, guest posts are also paid and free too. Top sites required quality content only and on other hand paid links are where you insert a link in an existing article/blog. Many websites accept paid guest posts only

@zeitnot In paid guest posting, you get paid for writing a guest post, whereas for paid links, you pay to the linking site. If you want organic links to your site you can try a tool called Postifluence. It's one of the best & affordable SEO tool I have ever used. It helps to find the top ranking guest posting websites and brings high-quality backlinks from there.

Guest post are free, while the paid links require payment .

Basically if you pay for guest post it will be counted as paid links. And google suggest using rel="sponsored" for this kind of links.

In reality we pay bloggers or webmasters for publishing guest post , which is not recommended by google.

@zeitnot The results shown on Google search are both ads and organic.

Paid results are created by users using Google ads where he/she introduces their ads to Google.

Organic results are shown on Google search results while a software called spider crawls a website and indexes them.

@Parker_Adam_916 thanks for fast response.
My second question is how google understands whether the post is paid or natural earn?

[Parker_Adam_916]

Guest Post – A guest post is ananrticle written by someone else and posted on your website. You do not have to pay anyone to write a guest post. If the author is willing to share their knowledge, then they should be given credit for doing so.

Paid Link – A paid link is any aancle where the writer is being compensated for writing the content. Usually, these articles are sponsored posts. Sponsored posts are often written by people who work at companies that sell products related to the topic of the article. These companies may offer compensation to the writers of the posts in exchange for them promoting the company’s product.
