I feel that the way that the recips are grouped and the preceding text above the links makes it no longer blind...

While I see what you're saying, I can also tell that it's a 4x4 recip table with recips to 16 Link Lists. I can tell you the name of 14 of them by sight alone - Debauchery & PenisBot are blind IMHO.

We're not talking about a word linked in a sentence. This is a blind link:
here
This isn't:

Let me throw this out there first:

OK, now that I've done that, everyone knows that I've never agreed with my buddy MadMax's ideas of what a blind link is or isn't. He made a ton of new reviewers into absolute blind link nazis.

As to Kit's new recip, I don't think that it is at all blind. If the surfer clicks on the word porn and gets a link list, I just don't see what is blind about that. It's not as if they're expecting to get Wal-Mart's website. They are getting porn.

The fact that the recips for WhoringWives said FREE PORNO for a long, long time has nothing to do with my opinion.

I love being the dissenting opinion.

I agree with UW. I think "blind links" are way over analyzed. Using the PB example that "porn" is a blind link also makes most "exit" links on a free site blind also.

Having no name in there means it's a blind link in the "normal" freesite blind link way, but as others have said already in the context of a clear and marked recip table I think it should be okay.

However, now that it's come up as a discussion point here, what will end up in those recips if they are allowed to be a bit more blind than other freesite links?
Will we see recip tables gradually filling up with Click Here's?

Technically it's blind, but in a recip table I don't have a problem with it. In an attempt to satisfy all parties I added an unlinked "Penisbot" in front of "Porn" on my latest freesite.

I don't consider it a blind link.

KG Gary has a good point about recip tables getting out of hand with a bunch of click here though. That would really be tacky.

I do the same as Lemmy by adding Penis Bot unlinked in the recip so not to break any rules.

I'm slacker than most regarding blind links, and would feel very little guilt if a surfer was somehow fooled into clicking a link that just said "Porn" and ended up at a porn link list. If they ended up at a mortgage brokers, well, that would be different.

Good point.

When I first got started, I was confused in that most rules said you limited your outgoing links to three, but the next line said you had to have 12 recips...seemed contradictory until it became clear that recips tables get a little different consideration.

it's not a biggie, afaic. Recips that work best for list owner work for me.

I agree with this - but I'd like to know the other side reasoning.

in a recip table that is not blind imo

you can talk about other peoples LL recips all day long about being blind, distracting the surfers attention to there recip by using scrolling text, images of hardcore sex and so on and so on
