Hiding Text?

Recommended Posts

I know that Google will penalize sites using techniques to hide text but is visible for search engines.

 

I'd never heard of doing this before but a client requested this kind of technique where they would use text-indent: -9999px to move it off the screen. This seem old school and not advised to use.

 

Can anyone shed some light on this?

 

Thanks.

-9999px was what we used to make disjointed rollovers, off page then moved on when rolloed over.

 

I did see a blog that complained he was penalized for this by Google even though it is a old accessibility move as hiding them can make content unusable, I will see if I can find it.
