    Invisible text on web page.

    I was checking out a potential link exchange partners site (http://www.digitehost.com/), however the link to the links page we are to be included on (http://www.digitehost.com/links3.php)doesn't seem to be visible on the index page. After looking at the source code from the index page I can see the link in the code. I know they are trying to hide the links in the form of a "." as a text link, however, for the life of me I cannot see where these "." links are on the page.

    They are probably using "white" in their css, but usually there is some sort of mouse over which I couldn't find.

    Of course my friend. Always here. I have no sound on this machine so I cannot listen to the file. I will give it a go in the morning.

    Webnaughts, I check several things out before agreeing to anything as anyone would, and as I quickly determining that I wouldn't recip, I was intrigued how they were hiding these href's in their code - thats all. I thought someone may be able to offer some insight as to how they do this, so I can include this in my pitch to prospects about how the bad guys do things.

    Tim, I was curious about the HTML code in the way these bad guys hid it - for future reference and in discussions with prospects. In my original post I used the phrase "was checking out a potential partner". I wasn't still considering them as a potential recip partner. I get curious and need to know how these things are done - it is one of my best flaws.

    Yes my sig is Google SEO, and we work geo-specific projects on a local basis.

    LD,
    Point noted.
    It is always best to stay as far away from sites like that. Perhaps offer your services to them, it is an in.
