Depends on the contest you are using these words

Por can be translated either as "by" or "for" but look at this example sentences:

Written by a popular author = Escrito por un popular author

I will do it for you = Lo haré por ti.

While "para" can also be translate as "for" or "to"

This party is for you = Esta fiesta es para ti

That person was sent to your office = Esa persona fue enviada para tu oficina

Grammatically explained you can find the differences and how to use these words straight right here,

Thanks for the links! It would appear that really the only easy way to learn these would be to memorize the proper differences and uses for each word...
