Re: Hidden links

Re: Hidden links
No, they are helpful to the sites they link to. There are thousands of sites with these hidden links on them all real estate websites and they are pointing to other real estate sites. I reported it to yahoo spam.

Why?
What business is it of yours if someone wants to clutter-up their homepage with out-going links
And, what makes it spam?
BTW, are you a competitor to that site?
An inquiring mind wants to know.Last edited by pcdoc; 01-25-2006 at 11:44 AM.

Re: Hidden links
Hidden text is never condoned but I also don't view it as spam. I just think it's a really stupid move by whoever did it.
Money Magazine says that Orland Park real estate is one of the best places to live in the U.S. Check out Homer Glen homes if you're interested in living in the newest Chicago suburb. Next door, Lemont homes are the priciest in the southwest suburbs and have held their value, even appreciating while prices in other areas have gone down.

Re: Hidden links
The use of text that is hidden from the user is Search Engine SPAM.
I can understand that -- hidden text for the purpose of adding targeted keywords and phrases to achieve a better SERP is SE spam.
But, unless the the <a href> tags have companion anchor text, which in this case they don't, then in my opinion this situation is not spam, it's just well, plain silly.

Re: Hidden links
Still Spam in the eyes of the SE's and you wouldn't want to be linking to this site as there is a good chance they will get penalized.
