Do not attempt to put hidden link in your post, it will appear on RSS reader
I found something that is rather interesting but quite surprising today. I was browsing 1 local blog, it looks interesting, so as usual I subscribed to their contents on my feed reader. However it is not full feed, it’s ok, as long as it is interesting, I’ll keep this feed before unsubscribe it after awhile.
So, I start reading its old posts. But there was something that had really caught my eye. On one of the posts, I found a lot of links below that we often found on the spam comment.
The code if you’re interested to have it on your blog.
<u style="display:none"><a href="http://www.bathradar.co.uk/wp-content/1/juegos-seguros-linea.html">juegos segurosWhat the heck?? I clicked ‘more‘ links to read the full story on the blog. At a glance, there is nothing there. I’m curious, so I viewed the page code, and there you got the secret. It is using the code below
style=”display:none”
I can’t tell if it is done on purpose or someone has hacked that particular post, but from the meta name, it is using the latest WordPress 2.3.3.
But whatever the intention is, the hidden link will appear on the RSS reader. So be careful if you’re trying to do black hat SEO dude!! (if you intend to do so). I’m not gonna reveal which blog it is, but I hope the author is aware of what is going on and do whatever needed to avoid Google slap (or bloggers slap). Hint, the author is not active on blogjer, so don’t worry about that.
I think I should check my post as well from now on.
p/s: Off topic, Raymond is very generous to share something interesting about his experience which had changed his life forever. Read more at Linn Comel
If you guys have anything to shout out, do mail or contact me. I’ll try my best to include it at the end of my post (no racist, quick rich scheme etc)
UPDATE : Remove to spam URL, too long
yup, rss readers sometimes reveal the unwanted. once, they display my temporary post which was supposed to be deleted. lol
the css code can be used for good tho, like hiding the technorati tags
My test post also appear in RSS even though I delete it almost immediately. Any idea how to prevent this?
Hi Zaki,
Thanks for the shout out. I hope it will benefits your blog readers (especially for those who can understand Malay)
It seems like once it appear in RSS, they remain even you deleted the post from your blog. That’s explain why sometimes I click the link in the RSS post to the blog, it is broken.
I believe most of them understand Malay, if not please ask Raymond to translate it, hehe
Sure, no problem.
I don’t understand…what’s hidden link?
the most popular translater… and of course you can get help from raymond to translate it…
Why don’t you ask the blog owner personally?
His/her blog might has been hacked. Someone posted the same issue in WP forum:

But it’s 2.3.3. Strange.
:-/
Seriously, if you’re going blackhat, why linking out?
This is certainly something new i learn today which never came across my mind. Thanks for sharing. Will pay more attention to it.
me too..i just figured out that my recent post who been deleted still available in feed reader
your comment remind me the nuffnang admin cpanel issue
i need to subscribe to my own blog to test this out
la tak subscribe lagi ke? try la dulu..nanti mcm2 link ko akan nampak
mana la tau ade hidden hentai link ke 
hidden links is when the invisible link putted by incident, or injected by malicious script into your blog post. as a result it appeared like spam links in the feed reader..correct me if im wrong
and this is the main reason why you should double check your post before publish it..sometimes there will be a story that you dont want to share with the audiences but you just write it down by accident
i never thought that i should subscribe to my own link before
bagus juga..kadnag2 kita boleh tau sama ada feed kita view properly or not..kadang2 failed to load..so kita boleh counter the probs
He he Caught! I don’t know whats more embarrassing. Getting caught or doing something that no longer really works anyway (Keyword stuffing).
