Question to TGP owners about blind links - GoFuckYourself.com

Apollo · 09-30-2002, 10:20 PM

What is your definition of a blind link?
Obviously a links that just say

More, Next, Enter, etc.

would be considered a blind link. But would something like

Click here for more amateur sites

also be considered a blind link? I have my own thoughts but I curious to see what you guys have to say about it...since overall it will be your opinion that determines whether or not my galleries are listed. This has been haunting me for some time and thought I'd get it out and get an answer once and for all

a blind link to me has always been just a link to whatever text it might say

So you're saying in your opinion any text with a link attached to it is considered a blind link?

A blind link is a text description taking you to different place than the text says.
example: at the bottom of a gallery, it says "NEXT", implying there is another gallery, you click it and it goes to a paysite tour, thats a blind or misleading link.

"click here for more amateur sites" is not a blind link, if it actually goes to an amateur site, you're not saying a free site. I would not have a problem with that.

Just like the shemp says it's deceiving.

A blind Link - thats when you click on one of the galleries on a tgp and instead of taking you to the gallery takes you to another tgp

Wonderful...thanks =)

A blind link is any link that goes somewhere other than where it says. Text, graphic, or otherwise. It's also a good way to piss people off. Although I must say, for a TGP "skimming" (sending browsers to other TGPs), is pretty much the best way to build your traffic when you first get it started. I hate doing it, and because of that I probably do it less than would be optimal, but the affect it's had on my traffic speaks for itself.
