Talleyrand, it doesn't get much clearer than this: Make it obvious to the surfer that the link will take them away from your site and somewhere else and you will never get rejected for blind links.

There's no one set standard for blind links. There's been plenty of reviewers/LL owners asking "What do you guys think, is this blind?" There's a degree of blindness in any link; some are REALLY blind and others are blind just to a select few.

Asking LL owner to clearly define what's blind is like asking someone to describe the color red, or DoJ to define obscenity. "I'll know when I see it."

All you need to do is understand the purpose behind good links - which is signify the destination URL and say what your surfer will find once he gets there.

You don't need a handbook to drive a car, and you don't need one to build free sites.

This appears to be another long ass thread about nothing |dizzy|

I'll say this loudly enough that the whole of Eastern Europe and Western Asia can hear me:

THAT IS WHY I STARTED THIS THREAD. I THOUGHT IT WAS HIGH TIME TO GET AS MANY LINK LIST OWNERS AS POSSIBLE TOGETHER AND TALK ABOUT BLIND LINKS, SO THAT THE SUBMITTERS WOULD BE ABLE TO SEE A BUNCH OF OPINIONS AT ONCE.

AS IT TURNS OUT, EVERYONE WEST OF GERMANY SEEMS TO HAVE ABOUT THE SAME OPINION OF WHAT IS AND IS NOT A BLIND LINK.

NOW THAT THIS THREAD IS HERE, WHEN SOMEONE ASKS ABOUT BLIND LINKS LOTS OF US JUST POINT THEM TO THIS THREAD AND GO ABOUT OUR BUSINESS

WHY WOULD YOU BOTHER SAYING THAT "SOMEONE SHOULD GET TOGETHER A UNIVERSAL SET OF RULES ON WHAT IS AND IS NOT A BLIND LINK"
IN A FUCKING THREAD THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT YOU'RE ASKING FOR???

MM... I heard that message all the way down here... :D

DD

WOW that was neat.... life go on with or without blind link

Yup, heard it loud and clear here too Dave :D

These guys are un-freakin-believable |dizzy|

Talley, Yahook...OTHERS who apparently are still unsure of blind links...here's a great thread on the subject.

http://www.greenguysboard.com/board/...ad.php?t=23441

IF you actually read AND comprehend it...your apparent haze on the subject should be come clear |thumb

Hmm I have this funny feeling that it still won't sink in. Why is that I wonder?

MrYum

You are giving them more intellectual credit than they deserve |shocking|

Sweet, my |attention still works :D

I think I'm going to start making my posts a bit less complicated so everyone can understand. |club|

Unfortunately. Could a Mod please delete everything after page 1? :D

What I meant by that is there is no getting through to some people. 15 pages from now they will be repeating what they said already |crazy|

I never try to argue with anybody ;) It could be a good thread, but some people see something bad in every my thread or post...

As for blind links - I know what is that. But different linklist owners have different opinion about it.

Ya got me there Surfn...wtf was I thinking??? |banghead| |banghead| |banghead|

DEAR SIR:

"Blind chick gets fucked hard at BlindFuckers.com"

Is this link blind? |couch|

Best regards,

FONZ

|gabbo|

Fonz's post inspired me, Lemmy. :D

Not to confuse the issue, but...

DEAR SIR/MADAM,

Would it okay to make a link with:

"Blind Link - Click Here!"

... since then surfer KNOWS it is a blind link when he click it...so then he is not be surprised. |loony|


|jester|

Sounds like you just had an East European moment Simon :D

DEAR MADMAX:

Who told you that your post in this thread are not clear?

I think that each one may to have its own opinion about the way of to write blind links rules.

Best regards,

TALLEYRAND

That would probably make sense to me if I were a drinker...a very heavy drinker |help|

Great post guys. I now understand exactly what a blind link is. Thanks.

As a newbie on building freesites, I can tell you that this thread really made things clear.

Thanks.|greenguy|

Very interesting topic :) Old but still interesting :)

I hate blind links... and no membership buying surfers, and reviewers who reject my sites, and musicals.

Musicals suck... but the terrence and phillip musical in the south park movie was ok.

This is an older thread, how come when I try find an old thread it's gone :( I was looking for the one about who accepts more than 2 free sites per day.

Hehe, I love South Park. Err... I mean I only hate it a little. You ever watch Aqua Teen Hunger Force? Sounds stupid but that show is halarious. That shake guy cracks me up |jester| "Shake, would you please come in here for a minute? Uh... Why dont you come in here, it'll be quicker." lol. Man thats some funny shit.

Anyways, if you find that thread post in it so I can see it too. Not that I would ever have enough ambition to actually build 2 free sites in 1 day but... It could happen.

Cheers
