A Discussion On Blind Links

[Useless]

Amongst newer list owners, I think many of us have the same gut feelings on what is blind and what is not, but don't know when to reject for it because you we don't want to be the only schmuck rejecting for something minor if everyone else is going to list it. I have recently begun to take a more stern approach towards blind links and other things issues that don't have a solid, easily applied rule and have begun rejecting and notifying the submitter (when possible).

As far as what is blind and what's not - I pretty much agree with what has been stated thus far, but I don't like "Free Video" as a text link, unless it's with other text that expresses the link's true destination. "Chubby Cornholers has the best BBW anal fisting pics and videos - Check Out The Free Video" would be fine. "Every one loves to see elbow deep fisting in a fat babe's ass - Check Out The Free Video" is blind since the the surfer would expect to see the video upon clicking the link, and nothing else.

I don't think that most blind links are intentional, so I don't get upset by them. I just ask that they are corrected and the site resubmitted.

Other things that I'm beginning to break down on are the lack of spacing between gallery links and sponsor links and navigation in general. Free site builders need to add space between to gallery links and any sponsor text or banner so that a surfer intending on clicking one, doesn't get the other. When the surfer gets a page he doesn't expect, he assumes you have tricked him. Be careful when building. The navigation on a free site should OBVIOUS. I shouldn't have to search for the enter or gallery page links. It's when I'm searching for navigation to the next page when I find more reasons to reject a site. If the sponsor text links are all bigger than the enter link, something is wrong. If the gallery page links don't jump out at me when I hit the main page, something is wrong - you are deliberately hiding them. I really prefer to be able to see at least one gallery link without having to scroll down on the main page. That's not carved in stone. It all depends on the site and the submitter.

I will admit that names I recognize from this board get away with much more than submitters I've never heard of. If a friend stumbles in your yard drunk and pisses on your front porch, you call him an idiot and walk away. If a stranger pisses on your porch - you let your dogs deal with him.
