Re: hide link; should still be found by Google indexer?

1 - As far as search engines are concerned, this is cloacking and hiding your links. If you just have a few on your site, presumably they would assume that they are legitimate, maybe not.

But if you are using this on a large scale, then certainly you have a high risk to get penalized sooner or later, because this is clearly NOT meant to help your human visitors.

 

2 - In my opinion, the best way to achieve your goal is to use a css style and to use it, eg

 

extlink, a.extlink {visibility: hidden}

....

<a class='extlink' href="http://www.mywebsite.net">This is a link</a>

Hi,

I want to put a link

<a href="http://www.mywebsite.net">This is a link</a>

on my website which shouldn't be visible to the reader but still found
by Google and treated like any other link.

How do I best do that?

Thanks
