If I understand it right, pages that google crawls should look exactly the same as what a normal user would see, content-wise?
I'm wondering to what extent would Google allow leniency... if there's any chance that a couple of links shown to G only would be in violation.
I'm asking because of another site, which is quite large, where a few extra links/options show up when I change my user-agent to GoogleBot, as well as an Adsense ad being replaced by a normal one. I didn't check the source though but I doubt there's any text hidden by css which is visible to google.
Any thoughts?
