Hidden additional content via CSS

[augustin]

CSS is used on rollover dropdown menus to hide the links until a hover event occurs. And it's a search-engine friendly practice.

So how about adding additional content by hiding text using CSS? Sounds black but maybe 1 or 2 lines would be alright.

Nothing black is alright.

aug in this action is the content still viewable when looking at the source code of the live page?

The additional content will be part of the source code you just set it to visibility:hidden so it won't show on the browser. And maybe as an 'excuse' make it visible when you hover on an image or something.

I thought of this since I'm SEOing this new site that barely has any content on the home page and the client doesn't want to add more. It could really use 1 or 2 more keyword-rich sentences.

I thought of this since I'm SEOing CTabuk same again !that barely has any content on the home page and the client doesn't want to add more. It could really use 1 or 2 more keyword-rich sentences.

Visibility:hidden? I would not dare.

Otherwise: Bye bye Google.

Why do you think did they make the visible CSS property then? Surely the w3c meant that to be of use. One good application for it is spiderable rollover popup menus. What I'm suggesting is something like a tooltip come to think of it.

I am arguing all the time here about the W3C standards, but many members claim here that search engines have nothing to do with them. Just FYI. You are just leading a discussion to nowhere here. Just FYI.
