I have an invisible backlink from a PR3 page. By Invinsible i mean the link on that page is White and cannot be seen if not selectet. Is that ok for google?

And why won't it count as a backlink, Google still hasn't picked it up.

cheers

lol so i change it to black then

edit: I changed it to this color which happens to be the same color ozzu uses, anyway..

Is this good enough for google to see or do i need to make it blink and some arrows pointing to it and underlined or bold?

I suggest not putting up links that can't be seen due to the fact that link and background color are the same.

Google considder this as black hat SEO techniques and it would only do the opposite of the intention you innitially had in mind.

Remove these links or make them visible otherwise google will pick up on them at some point and will penalize you for it.

I guess you can always put a white image as a background. Google won't scan it pixel by pixel to find out if you are hiding the link.

Is that on the "It's only illegal if you get caught" principle?

Kind of...
It shows that if you really want to, there's not much Google can do to stop you from using this type of black hat seo.
On the other hand, I wouldn't risk having a site kicked out of the serps for this.

How can a bot find out that the text is invisible or not????

If i use white bg and white font then there are chances, bcos google can smell Bg color and font color.
If i use bg as image that is white image called bg.jpg and its color is white now i use white font over it then?????
how will google know that bg.jpg is white in color?

Can you explain me???

Because Google has human employees that check sites too.

Many Black hat SEO webmasters, even though their site design is white hat, their off site promotion is black, and usually they dishonour links exchanges in a variety of undetectable ways.. so if you exchange links and the return link is not showing up in a search engine after say 6 weeks, then personally I would delete their link on my site for the reason that they might be dishonouring the exchange AND because the return link is probably worthless anyway
