Help About Blind Links

Zio · 2006-12-06, 03:46 PM

Hi all

Just going through yet another submit round and so far it's going pretty well, but I received a handful of rejections motivated by "blind links".|confused|
Here's the FS: http://www.route2x.com/solo_amateur_...lla/index.html
My problem is that I have no clue how to even make a blind link, so I would like to ask if any of you can explain to me (as if I were a 3 year old) what a blind link is and what it looks like cause I'm a bit confused.
Moreover, I'm restricting my subs to LLs that have been giving the best return and, since the rejections have come from sites that have been so kind as to grant me partner status, I definitely don't want to repeat whatever mistake I made with the above FS.
Please note that I started putting in more text links to the sponsor on my FSs because I read in this great forum that these tend to give better click through rates than banners.
So please fire away and while your at it I wouldn't mind to have your opinions on the design.
Thank you and all the best!

This would be my interpretation...but then again, what do I know

this one...not blind, the surfer knows where the link is sending him:
"IF YOU LIKE GIRLS RIPPING THEIR PANTYHOSE AND MASTURBATING toXsite.com IS THE PLACE TO GO!!!"

this one....blind, no banners/paysite name/ads to tell the surfer he's leaving your site:

"Sexy girls ripping their pantyhose and masturbating just 4 U!"

I think your problem is with those banners...they look like the girl on the gallery, and the text is way at the bottom so if you don't see the whole banner it looks like a thumb. If that's the only site that you're getting rejected with then that's my guess.

Hey Zio, and yeah I was one of the ones that denied you on this one.

As was stated:
"Sexy girls ripping their pantyhose and masturbating just 4 U!"

is blind. So is

"Come see our horny girls wear those sexy pantyhose,
rip them at the croch and fuck themselves
with veggies, fruits, and a variety of toys!!!"

On the "Sexy girls..." example, you have unlinked text right below the text link. If in the unlinked text you mentioned the paysite name, or the words "join" or "full access" or "membership" it would have been fine.

On the bottom example, istead of "Come see our horny girls..." how about "Come see the tour of our horny girls..." because that is where you are sending the surfer to, a tour.

I hope this clears things up, and if you make the appropriate changes either PM me or log into your account on my linklist and edit the description a tad and it should throw the site back into my queue for review.

Thank you Preacher, Pony Girl, and majick for your feedback.

I've made some changes: http://www.route2x.com/solo_amateur_...lla/index.html
Only to the text links of course... And I sincerely hope that the people who had already accepted the FS won't be pissed (

) cause that would be a real problem to which, I imagine, there would be no easy fix...

I'm sending each of you a PM by the way.

Thanks again and please don't be shy you people out there, the more feedback the better!

The site looks pretty good now Zio

That said, Ponygirl is right...some reviewers may balk at those banners. They do look a bit too much lick clickable pictures. If there was ad text actually over the picture portion...it would help. Or, perhaps just an overlay on top of the picture stating the paysite name.

In case you haven't seen it yet...here's an excellent thread on the subject of blind links:

Hi MrYum

Thanks for the reply. I've gotta bolt right now but I will check the thread u're pointing out asap, looks just like what I need to clear my mind on the blind link issue. Got the message about the banners too and will put it to good use.
BTW you'll be getting a PM as soon as I get back from upgrading my laptop to the 1gb of RAM era.
Thanks again & be well!
