Hi Balix,

Right off I would say that doing what you suggest would be considered spamming from everything I have read. I don't understand why you would want your text and background colour the same unless you are trying to spam. What article did you read?

I am sure the moderators here will correct me if I am wrong.

Text same color as background = spam --> get you banned if Google finds it (though it has not been doing a very good job of that lately).

Another point - I have not submitted any new site to a search engine in a very long time. Its largely a waste of time and effort. SE's need links to your site so they can find you by crawling the web.

What your need to do with your keyword(s) is:
* put them in title
* put them in the meta description
* make sure they have the highest density of word in the body text (and not the same color), but no more than 10% density
* in H tags (BUT do not overdo this
* occasionally in bold and italics

Then get links, lots of links to your site and hopefully they will have your keywords in the anchor text of the links.

I dont want doing spamming, i just want the body text invisible, because i dont want in my front page have a lot of text, maybe with that trick it will work. BTW thanks for your advice.. i will try another way. My site is www.ekakhazana.com

lets forget the word "spam" as that means many different things.

Google reads the color of fonts and backgrounds and if the same hex code negates the effectiveness of anything written... thus this is a vast waste of time management.

You cannot shortcut your way to success - write content add more pages and link to and from these pages will produce more.

Many people play risk management with "spam stuff" -- they know how far they can go without riding over the edge -- but if you don't appreciate all the how, whys and where to draw the line... your site will be dropped and you will have a very difficult time coming back.

A better trick is just to delete it from the page altogether.
