There are two other ways of hiding text apart from changing the text
colour to be the background colour.
The first is to put the text in a container and hide it as has been
mentioned before.... to do this add
<div style="visibility:hidden">
This text is hidden
</div>
The problem with the above is that although the text is hidden the
space is still used up on the page.
The other way is to use display: none.
<div style="display:none">
this text is hidden and taking up no space.
</div>
With regards to search engines there was a high profile case of Google
flexing their muscles.
Wordpress is a blog writing tool that is used by many web hosts and the
people that wrote wordpress thought they could abuse their
page rank (which was at 9) and advertise using keywords that have
nothing to do with blog writing or the tools they supply.
Google instantly gave them a page rank of -99 which threw them to the
bottom of the list.
Wordpress had to remove the offending articles and beg Google's
forgiveness.
Think about it.... if it was as easy as putting the keywords on the
page hundreds of times and hiding them everyone would do it and your
page would be no easier to find.
Also as a person that uses search engines like Google all the time I
want the most relevant page at the top of the pile not the one that got
there by cheating.
