invisible backlinks

Edge88 · 10-31-2009, 04:40 PM

A friend of mine has a PR4 Blog on a .edu domain. (the blogs home page is PR6, and the university's homepage is PR9). So I called him up and told him a little bit about what I'm doing and asked him if he'd put a link on his next post for me. I told him it'd help me get indexed and rank better. I also told him that the link could be just a period or a comma. He said no problem. I was thinking though, the link could also be invisible to make it less likely that someone will click on it and see that he's putting links on his blogs. remember its an university blog, and he really likes it, so I dont want to risk it for him.

<a href="www.mydomain.com">Hi</a> = link with Hi as the anchor text
<a href="www.mydomain.com">.</a> = link with a period as the anchor text
<a href="www.mydomain.com"></a> = link with nothing as the anchor text????? thereofre an invisible link??

Would the above code be an invisible link? and is it ok to do that? I mean, he's got a pretty authoritative position, I feel like google wouldnt be mad because theres one invivsible link there.

Thanks for the replies

dont work like that mate, you'd need to place in

Code:

&nbsp;

as the anchor text... but that's not really gonna help any way. do it the right way, "you'll have better and longer lasting results" (thats what she said...lol)

uh - don't do that. Google doesn't like that. Why don't you put an anchor text in there???

I haven't looked at it recently but last time I checked this isn't something you want to do. Invisible anything is frowned on by Google. Have you checked other blogs and the rules of the university to determine if a visible link is going to be a problem for your friend?

Edge88 · 10-31-2009, 10:41 PM

Yeah, we're just going to put an anchor there. the anchor will be a period or a comma

it also wont be underlined or blue. how does google feel about one character backlinks

I guess that might be a bad idea too.

I remember reading before in google guidelines saying that doing this is something similar like putting hidden links in which they don't like it. Somehow it's still up to you to decide but it would be a risk.
