Bolding keywords without style?

    We have all read or heard bolding the keywords you want to rank for can help SEO, but what if you use css so the bold keywords looks like normal text, would that have the same effect? I ask because since at least google is able to detect css invisible links and text, maybe it only gives "weight" to a keyword when it's really bold and not just when it's around strong tags.

    I really don't think old techniques like that work anymore, do they?

    Nop, they really do not. Guys, please, stop living in the early 2000's... We are approaching 2012. Search engines are smarter than ever. Things like bolding or italicing a word DO NOT help. Quality helps. And quality is not being achieved by randomly bolding "target keywords".

    Bold and stylish keywords are treated just like a simple keyword. This technique is not work now.

    I think it might work, it might not - but who cares? you would never know the answer and I think the % affect of this method will be so minimal as even not noticed. people should stop thinking only about SEO and it's all what i ear all day long and start thinking about the true value of their sites, and how their sites can be so helpful so that other people will start naturally promoting it.
