hmm...another good thread
first, MrYum I have to agree with you - those huge blocks of linked text are awful if they are highlighted on mouseover in any way
I usually put the paysite name without the .com but I put it all together like: HerFirstLesbianSex - I dunno, makes it seem more like a paysite link to me. The concern about typing it directly in is why I don't put the .com but I guess an industrious surfer would figure it out anyway.
As I refine my style & see more posts about this on the board, I am getting tougher too. Surfers know you are going to try & sell them something, blind links just makes it look sneaky to them imho.
