Hi there,

I'd like to know if you've ever seen such code at the bottom of a page. The funny part is that there's more of the same stuff and it's not displayed on the site (not viewable)... Is that a cool trick to increase page ranking or could this lead to being banned from search engines? There's a Meta for keywords that strangely looks like these...

Can't wait to see what you think, and get answers!!! ;)

SPAM ... need I say more? What do you expect from spamming?

This is exactly the sort of CSS abuse that has been causing so much concern in many other threads. Certainly not a "cool trick", if you want to try this tactic yourself you're playing a dangerous game.

Even though I'm new to SEO (...), that sounded pretty fishy. Thanks!
