Shady CSS Users – You Can Run but You Can’t Hide Anymore
If you’re tired of the way your site looks and want a change, but don’t want to deal with changing your HTML, then CSS (cascading style sheet) files can be your best friend. You can easily give your site a face lift with the help of these files without having to spend hours on end adjusting your HTML code.
However, like all things, there are some web designers who have taken the use of CSS and gotten a little sneaky with it. Using CSS a site owner can easily hide content from their visitors. By filling their HTML code with keyword stuffed content, the search engines would index the site based on those keywords, but the visitors would never see all the keyword overloaded content.
Nothing like trying to pull the wool over a search engine bots’ eyes hu? Nice try guys, but you can’t hide anymore. According to an article I read at IMNewsWatch.com, it seems that to combat this problem, Google is now indexing CSS files. You can read the article here => Does Google Read CSS Files?
Not that you needed one, but there’s just one more reason tricky tactics don’t pay off in internet marketing.

I'm so glad they're finally doing this. There's nothing I dislike more than people who cheat the search engines when people like us work hard to raise up in the ranks the right way.
