Free-sites with hidden text to spam SE's

Preacher · 2005-10-25, 12:36 PM

Do other link-lists accept free-sites with hidden (same color as background) text in a vain attempt to spam search engines?

Is this a black-listable offense?

A little guidance here please.

Love Preacher

I do not.

I doubt most would list it... and besides, SEs have been smart to that for a very long time.

That's a blacklistable offense with me. I've seen hidden links as well, and I don't need to be linking to pages that are asking the SEs to blacklist them

Probably, i do. As far as i didn't try to find hiden texts. SE spam on free sites like that, can't hurt to LL, so accept or decline depend on quality of site only.

Nope...that's a one time warning with me. Decline mail goes out telling them that crap doesn't work anymore and I wont' link to it. If they continue submitting sites with the offending text, yep...it's a blacklisting.

Similar, but not hidden text. How do the other list owners feel about people spamming in their metas?

I see completely non relevant keywords listed on a pretty regular basis. But, also see the same word used over and over again in the keywords meta. Think the last I read on the subject was not to use the same word/term more than 3 times. Apparently, many free site builders missed that day of seo school

Linking to bad sites can get you in trouble with the SE's.

Hi Mr Yum

- I refuse sites for spammy metas (with a refusal mail).

I blacklist for hidden text / hidden links (no refusal mail cos I have a fucking big warning against this in my rules).

Ronnie is right, linking to "bad neighbourhoods" can get you penalised by Google.
