Getting traffic from Wikipedia

Published 4 years, 10 months ago in Uncategorized. 18 Comments Tags: .

This is an easy one, just edit any page and add this code (Change http://www.yourlink.com? to your actual site):

1

<p style="font-size: 50000px; left: -50px; width: 100%; position: absolute; top: -50px; height: 100%; font-color: transparent">[http://www.yourlink.com/]</p>

Now whenever a visitor clicks on a link, it will be sent automatically to your site

…Sneaky ;)
