I know that there are numerous articles which argue against the use of invisible text. I've browsed a bunch of random sites on the web, and I noticed that quite a few big sites, or network of sites, use them. What are the positives of using invisible text, for search engine optimization? I know it can take days, weeks, or even months for a search engine to index new pages of a site even after a sitemap is submitted. But when pages have embedded, invisible hyperlinks to those new pages, I'm noticing they get quickly crawled by google. So.... What are the other positive arguments for using invisible text?
What I find perplexing, is older sites, that have like a full page of black on black text at the bottom, and they actually rank very high for nearly ALL those invisible words. So much for the technological prowess of the SEs. They claim to filter things like this, but I believe a lot of it is smoke and mirrors. These sites should have been slapped down for this LONG, but many of them are ranking well. But then... there is the risk, someone may report it eventually, and you probably will get a ban.
Invisible Text will get you penalized or worst when the SEs notice it. (don't do it) Why not try to incorporate your required text into your actual content, this will or should, have a positive and lasting effect
If you get caught, you'll get penalized. You don't need to have invisible text. You can have the text visible and written in small fonts so that they do not catch too much the attention of your visitors or mess up the presentation of your site.
To achieve faster indexing of new pages there is a simple, straightforward and totally "legal" way to do the very same with visible links. I create a manual RSS feed - have all important new pages added - thenb publish as usual via RSS directories - ping ... get them fetching my RSS - and it will appear on their HIGH PR RSS feed sites within minutes PLUS i add among the many thousand pages a dozen or so of my own RSS feed via SSI into highly frequented pages to let my site visitors know about new pages. that way - all legal and clean - G has usually indexed all new pages within 3 days. ... without invisible stuff!! in addition there are a few sites having some or several of my RSS feeds included in their pages via SSI to add free content to their own sites. here again - it helps G to find my newest pages faster.
Cute Idea and it has been around for ever. But, the SEs will not see it as invisible since they do not use your style sheet when indexing. Oops. You just got penalized for SPAMMING. Have you ever look at your Google Cached version of you home page. The SEs don't allow beginner tricks any longer so stop acting like one. Spend your time taking one page, use only 1 keyword phrase, fill out the major SEO elements correctly and follow the rules. It's easy. Also, if you luck out and the SEs don't catch you, your competition will.
there is no possible side of invisible txt. google can understand it easyly and it may consider you because of the invisible txts
There is no such thing as invisible text to the search engine. All big search engines notice it when crawling your website;s code and structure. It is a general rule to have SERP losses when putting this kind of content on a website.
This was once an acceptable way of doing things but have come across this on Matt Cutts site: http://www.mattcutts.com/blog/seo-mi...wise-comments/ who tells you its bad bad bad to hide using seo as Google spiders are starting to spider the css file also.... Im not sure if this is live but beware!
