How to Hide Links

The very first thing that you must learn before you start to build a doorway page system is how to create hidden links.

As you will soon learn, using hidden links is a vital part of using doorway pages. Without them, a doorway system will not work. These hidden links will join together the doorway pages that we will soon create. If you do not want a link to be found, the best place to hide it is at the bottom of your pages. Because of the remote location, most people very rarely discover them. If you leave some space between your last item on the page and the hidden link, most people will not be exploring past your content.

Even if a visitor finds it, they will have no idea what they stumbled upon and will never figure out what you have done. The link location does not matter to spiders - they will still find it and go to our master directory page to index its content.

There are two ways to create a hidden link- as a text link or as a graphics link.

Adding the Site Map Link

Our next step is to now add the site map link to our imaginary widget home page.

This will allow the search engine spiders to visit and index whatever links we place on the site map page. If you have not already figured it out yet, we are going to be placing our doorway pages on our site map. We will get to that part soon. For now, lets tie the site map page to the home page.

To do this, we need to make a hidden link that will only be seen by the visiting search engine spiders. You should already know how to create a hidden link, so we will not spend any time on this. If your are unsure, refer back to the how to create hidden links on this site. Just like I told you on the hidden link section, place your hidden link at the bottom of the page.

You can use a text link or graphic link, its your choice. Once that’s done, you are ready to add your doorway pages.
