My days of spamming search engines are long over, but I can't help but have ideas. I had this one today that made me particularly curious. However I am too much of a woosie to try it on any of my sites.
What if you had a site with lets say a blue background. Then you create a two cell table. One cell you fill with an completely blue image and tag it to be height=100% and width=100%. Then you write a paragraph or so on the other cell, fill it with keywords in a natural flow of genuine content, but obviously nothing you would want your visitors to read. Then with style sheeting move the blue image cell to an absolute value over the top of the text cell.
I got it to work on a test page and it actually worked very nicely. Not only couldn't you tell the text was there, but you could make it compact and put it above your true content. The obvious advantage of this over ghosting(or cloaking pages), is that this can be done with static html pages without the need for scripts. From what I understand about search engines I see no way they can determine that an absolute position of a cell would be over any content.
I in no way endorse spamming the engines; infact I think we would all have to work a lot less hard with a lot more success if there weren't a history of doing it. So please don't try this I was just curious to see if anyone had any truths they could lay my way that would let me know this wouldn't work.
