"If your site is perceived to contain hidden text and links that are
deceptive in intent, your site may be removed from the Google index, and
will not appear in search results pages. When evaluating your site to
see if it includes hidden text or links, look for anything that's not
easily viewable by visitors of your site. Are any text or links there
solely for search engines rather than visitors?"
