    Hi guys,

    I've just updated the links on my site -- i like them, they look cool (i think :) )

    But i dont want to be banned for hidden text, which they use, as it cannot be see until you roll over.

    The site: Online Stopwatch

    All the text does become visible at some point, if the user rolls over the button, but it is filled with keywords.

    Can someone let me know.

    Cheers.

    If you're talking about the sub-menu's that pop up on the main menu below the Stop Watch and Count Down arrows, no I don't think they will hurt you IMHO. There are a lot of main line sites that use the pop up sub menu's.

    Can the SE's follow those links to your other pages? I have no idea. It may hurt you in the SERPS if they can't.

    Thanks for the fast reply mate.

    Yes the sub-menus are the ones i mean, i added them today, then thought about the visible tag in css -- which i've read your not supposed to use.

    I dont know if they can follow the links. i havent added anything to stop the SE i dont think.

    Cheers mate -- i guess your right, lots of sites use them type buttons, so it carnt be too bad...
