1. Nothing is “invisible” as long as it is on the internet. So, don’t even think that a public URL can not be found!
2. Yes, they will see your links (if pingbacks are allowed on their blog) and they will be able to go back to your blog.
3. Blogging on your own computer or on paper and keeping in the drawer…
As a general note: Don’t expect from a publishing tool to make you invisible and secret. You want secrecy? Don’t publish your stuff on the internet.
I understand that but there’s a trade-off between accessibility (of the people you want to see it) and secrecy.
I simply want a blog that is net based, that (if no-one shares the URL and I opt out of google searches) is fairly hidden from most people.
re: the links – would TinyUrl work? ie. If I linked to a TinyUrl of the site I want to link to – they would see TinyUrl as the referrer and not me?
Would I be right in thinking linkanon.com is a good service to stop people from knowing that i’m linking to them?
If your so worried about everybody not being able to see your stuff then why just require authentication to view your page. Then give the “chosen few” a username and password then it wont matter if they can see your domain name they can’t access anything on it.
Also I’m with moshu if you want to be so secertive then the internet probably isn’t the place to do it.
I do understand the madness to my statement – honestly.
I’m just tryign to get the balance between keeping it difficult to find, but easy enough for people to access it (the people that Iwant to access it).
