Doesn't Google frown upon this?

    I came across this site on my search to find links... I highlighted the page by pure accident and noticed that it contains a lot of hidden words. Is this not highly frowned upon by alot of Search Engines? I see they have a Page Rank of 10 so is this even working.. I think that this is really cheating the system, and doesn't seem fair. Does anyone have any experience with this?:confused:

    That's weird, you have 32 posts. That site has a PR10 and they are using Black Hat SEO? That's incredibly odd.

    I see PR 4 for that page and PR 6 for the home page. I guess google hasn't caught on to their hidden text yet.

    pr10, i nearly fell off my chair when u said that. That is some hard core keyword rich hidden text they've got going.

    The site will probably not get banned until a competitor reports it.

    You'd think they blacklist you for that after reading this forum. I've seen at least a handful of sites with white-on-white or black-on-black text that actually rank well for those hidden keywords. Go figure.
