Bait error
the fish tail is incomplete … it lacks “>”
It would have been nice is there’s a worm named URL in it

This is brilliant use of the metaphor.
Imagine an ocean of swimming anchor tags looking for an href.

Yeah link bait error… but the worm can be also tagged as visit or traffic. After all the end goal was to drive people to your site.

Alright, after the IM’s and the forum reactions… I added a worm since many said the hook should have a URL worm. And not just a hook labeled URL.

Cool image! Since the link is malformed, does that mean anything that follows the said link will turn the entire content as a link?

and guys, you’re not getting Benj’s point in this post. the missing > did capture your attention and you just got caught with the bait! besides, learn to appreciate the art of this image… definitely a good one i say.. :p

Ang laki ng worm, di kasya sa bibig ng clownfish! Mabubulunan yung clownfish kase,as what Dru said, the malformed link will turn the entire content as a link.

Nice nice!!! But as a programmer, I too have to agree with the others re the missing “>”. LOL.

astig lupet ng link bait… I like it..

Hehe. Napaghahalata ang mahilig mag-blog spam … sanay na putol-putol ang anchor tag.
(For the non-tagalog speaking community: It shows who usually does blog spamming … they’re used to writing malformed anchor tags).

Nice one! Kaso kulang yung buntot. “>”

May i use this in one of my next blogposts?
What anchortext do you like? >.<
