You know how some blogs won't allow any links in the comment box or maybe they only want your name and email and have no place to put your website link? Here is a little trick to drop your backlink into the comment box - use a smiley at the end of your blogpost.

example:
Loved your blog. <a href=http://yoursitehere>:-)</a>
 
None of mine did in any blogposts
 
Good stuff, nice trick thinking outside of the box on this one.

Other tricks are linking periods ( . ), external or even locally hosted emoticons, etc.

Great trick though for those rookie Webmasters.
 
You could possibly also use a little CSS to remove the underline...
Code:
<a href="http://www.example.com/" style="text-decoration: none;">Example</a>
 
This works well in forums. You do the smiley face. Old trick.
 
According to the Google Webmaster guidelines, having a link only on a full stop can be seen as cloaking.

But this trick includes using a semi-colon , a bracket and a dash too :P

Nice Trick Cybernac, I rarely do manual commenting now but this is a

good trick for the ones doing it.

Yeah...It's one of the tricks shown by harro a long time ago. Think it's name was "Forum IMG Cash"..
 
This is sooo old school. Used to do it myself some time ago.
 
From 1k comments using this trick you will get 1-10 idiot approve comments ( on spammed lists )


Pretty old by now and no one is falling for this anymore because you can see the link easly.
