Question For Link List Owners & Reviewers About Blind Recip Links

Jel · 2007-12-22, 03:05 AM

I voted no, for the reason that indeed you get taken to a site filled with porn. Mark's good example of what a recip area could look like if every LL owner went that route isn't going to happen, because most LL owners do want that branding, and any surfer seeing that block of recips using those anchors is in no way (imo) going to take any notice of it whatsoever, skipping right over it. That's obviously just my opinion though.

I've felt we mollycoddle surfers a little regarding blind links for a while now - surfers are much more savvy now generally speaking, and don't need as much hand-holding as before, again just imo. It's pretty easy to get around not using blind links by preceding the anchor 'click here' (or suffixing (?) the anchor) with 'for members area/tour/paysite name/etc', or using a banner, and when used in a clearly visible recip area, with 'this site listed at (these LLs/linklists/resources/etc)' I think it doesn't really mislead the surfer, or even entice a clickthru. Just as an example http://www.lesbianpornnews.com/hfs/i...bian-gangbang/ as you say GG, both debauchery & penisbot's recips are technically blind, but in that context I personally think it makes little to zero difference to the surfer, and whether he/she chooses any of those recips to click on than another.
