Jesus, I might have blind links in ever free site I have done and did not know it.

I consider a blind link to be a hyperlink, either text or image, that misleads the surfer into going somewhere they were not intending to go. I think of it as being deceptive. For example, "FREE PICTURE ARE HERE" and instead of taking the surfer to a gallery, it goes to a pay site's tour or join page.

In the case of French Canadian's warning page, I can not see the blind link. The text between the two thumbs is a definite pitch for the pay site and no mouseover is used to hide the url in the status bar. If I clicked on the "Click here to visit her page now" I would know that I was going to the paysite.
