Quick Advice - CSS - SEO Class

[Demiglaz]

All:

The pages in my site all include the following in the body:

<h2class="seo">Software vendor negotiations,IT RFI,IT RFP.<ahref="http://www.technologybuyersadvocate.com">www.TechnologyBu yersAdvocate.com</a></h2>

The CSS for the "seo" class defines the class such that it is not visible on a given page:

.seo { position : absolute ; left : -100px ; top : -100px ; right : 0 ;}

Question: Does this technique violate Google's no hidden text or links rule? Does it matter that the invisibility is accomplished in the style sheet and not within the HTML on the page itself?

You can view the full page source code (minus the style sheet) at http://www.technologybuyersadvocate.com

Thanks in advance for your input.

I think when using it for navigation purposes it should be okay. When just merely hiding links/ keywords on your page it will gets penalized.

Better dont use this. Not shure ...

Thanks much for the advice.

I have removed the hidden text and link.

This SEO Class (and the corresponding page placeholder) were in a CSS template I used. I never would have thought of this technique on my own!

Thanks again.
