Hiding your smily links
In my previous post I talked getting do follow links by leaving comments on various sites. The idea is that we would use a picture to get a link, like a smiley face, thus we don’t look like we are spamming. In reality we are not spamming because we are leaving quality comments, but we just want to get a link in there too.
On one site I was leaving a comment and it put a nice blue box around my picture like so:
Which make it obvious that it is a link. Thats not bad, its still unobtrusive, but its obvious. So I thought if you could dress up the image a bit to make it not so obvious it might be better. So I added boxes around the image like this:
Thus when it adds the blue link box around the outside it looks like this:
Grant it that this is not the greatest, but it makes the blue line less in your face. However its a bit big. Another option I did was backfill the smile face with the color of the blue:
Once it adds the link it looks like this:
Smaller and less noticible. Either way it camouflages the fact that there is a link. Not sure if it really makes that big of a difference, but its a thought. If anyone cares to comment if they think it really matters or other ideas that would be great. These were just a couple options I thought of real quick.
