Blind Links

linsys · 2005-02-10, 12:04 AM

Ok, so I've been looking at some "Free Sites" listed with link lists that are similliar to my site.. I would like to turn over more of my "Free Site Traffic" to my pay site... and it seems there is what I would call a fine line in regards to blind links..

Are blind links ONLY blind when they are in the index or main page?

If I where to put like some sort of NEXT link at the bottom of my gallery pages which linked to my pay site would that be considered blind?

Also what are most LLs feelings on "Enter Here Buttons" I obviously know that ONLY one enter button is allowed on the index page but what about the main or gallery pages?

Anyother ideas about blind links that I didn't think of would be appreciated.. I want to change some of my wording but I dont want to break the rules now that my sites are getting listed..

A blind link is a blind link no matter if it's on your on index, gallery, or underwear. They are not geographically specific. Traffic lead blindly to your site will be crap anyway. Surfers tend not to react too well to such tactics and that's why it's against the rules.

mb's take on the use of ENTER HERE and CLICK HERE: http://www.greenguysboard.com/board/...ad.php?t=14031

"NEXT" is the blindest of the blind. It isn't any better than saying "More galleries here" and sending someone to the paysite.

"Click here to visit/enter/take the free tour at/enter the guest area at xyz.com" works rather well - and none of em are blind.

NB 'enter' may be considered a little bit blind by some.

The very best thing you can do is surf the link lists that seem the most picky and look at how the sites they have listed are built. See what language others are using and how they use it. 'Free Preview' by itself can mean something entirely different when tagged to a sponsor's banner.

ENTER HERE on gallery pages I think is totally fine. You have text talking about the paysite and then have enter here. That is obvious and when on the gallery pages ONLY is cool.
