SEOmoz questioned the “click-fruaders” and asked them to share some of the techniques used to get paid by Google and the other search engines.

You can put a link on images, text designed to get people to click, etc. They’re called “blind links” because the user has no idea where they will be going when they click on them – even if they think they do.

No one can remember the last time Motley Fool guessed correctly about the search sector.
