or maybe find the location of their moms basement and use the leftover wood from canoe building to nail shut the basement door?
Or are these real jobs? In which case there is no shame left in the world.

I sure can't! But I'm sure someone here probably can. See the you tube videos about such antics.

Fair enough.
Curious as hell, but oh well!

Our Civil Engineering students build a new canoe every year!

How is it that they profit by just posting in the forums?
It’s an “establish trust” post. They say something to be “part of the community”, and lay low on the links for a while until somebody thinks they are “real”.
THEN they post a link.
The other version I've seen is cases where they make a post with no link, then come back and edit it a week later to deliver the real payload, typically after it's fallen off the front page.

Even for that- how does a link that nobody knows about and clicks makes any money? I've never understood that.
Unless they come back and click their own link. Which is pretty bad way for the company to pay them.

I believe the goal is to improve a site's Googlejuice. It's not to have people actually click the link - the idea is that googlespiders will find it and conclude "Oh, somebody's linking to this site from other sites - they must have something interesting to say on the subject."
If Colin Chapman built an actual canoe This would be what he would have built.
