Hi guys This is a quistion after noticing some of the users on one of my forums have the following in their signature, although our policy does not allow personal website adverts etc. The guy almost has 5/6 such blank links in his signature. WHen the source is viewed of the page it appears as : <a href="http://www.example.com"></a> Code (markup): Does Google read such blank links and follow the links?
I doubt it -why would they? Its clearly either bad coding or (in this case) a deliberate attempt to deceive.
