Thx

 

Yes it does.

 

I think that Google ignores CSS properties, so yes it sees it.

Another example: when you use a

<div style='float:right;width:150px'>
bla bla
</div>
Here is another text

Code (markup):

Your visitors see first "Here is another text" and second the "bla bla" thing at a right column of the page.
But Googlebot sees the "bla bla" first, because it is first in the HTML code.

In any case, don't use hidden text and links because your site may be penalized by Google (de-indexed or moved backwards -30 to -950 positions in the SERPs)

 

Sure, its just CSS...

 

I don't see any problem in the code.

So Google will see and crawl the link.

 

The googlebot should crawl and index anything even, if it has display:none, however you never know. Those engineers at Google are very smart!

 

Out of interest, why do you want to do this?

 

Nothing wrong as long as it is visible in the source code... and more likely in the upper part of the page.

 

google bot still see it, but hide some keyword, they raise some flag. lol

 

why did you ask this question??

facing any problems ..like not getting indexed in G?

 

My site kedoya.com has DHTML menu and I want to make sure that search engines index my dhtml links. Should I use DHTML menu or no, comments please.
