Text that is visible to the search engine spiders but not to site visitors. Used to add extra keywords in the page without actually adding content to a site. Most search engines will penalize Web sites which use hidden text. It's under black hat and is a big no-no.

It really is not a good idea to place hidden text to your website.

Don't do hidden text - do alts and you can make the text real small and place it at the bottom or just throw it in someplace

Example (I was just playing with this for giggles - they don't do it in idaho ....lol) #1 link - http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q...idaho&aq=f&oq=

Or you can make it real small and place it at the bottom of the page (#1 link) - http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q...gs&btnG=Search

I thought I was cute putting hidden text in my webpage until Google took it out of search results. Don't fail with fire and you won't get burnt!

This is like an small kid trying to make fool of parents.. using black hat techniques is a flop idea. it may show some success in start but search engines will not show the website in search.. its an waste of time..

There is a huge possibility that you will be ban if caught by search engines. Don't put hidden text to your site, it's a form of bl ack hat seo.

I don't think hidden text are a good stuff..But i think by doing this hidden text could boost the ranking of your site, but again this is NOT a right method

Hidden text is where you make the text the same color as the background. The visitors to your site won't be able to see it but the search engine spiders can. It's very easy for the spiders to detect and will definitely get you a penalty when discovered.

Hidden Text is under blackhat seo. Don't put hidden text on your site unless you want your site to be penalized.
