Hi,

Recently i came across a website using some techniques to hide outbound links from Google crawlers.

You can visit the site - Mandy Heng - Mandy Heng Fashion Designer for Evening and Formal Wear

If you were to click on "links:" at the end of the page, it will show a long list of outbound urls. The keywords "links" itself is almost hidden using font colors that matches the background.

I took a look at the Google cache page of the website and the outbound links are not reflected on it.

Anyone care to shed light if this is considered blackhat?

One thing that i'm puzzled about is that "link juice" are passed from mandyheng.com, so why isn't google robot picking that up and reflecting in the cache page?
