Personally I think it's a sly trick and I wouldn't want to risk it. I'm sure Googlebot is smart enough to work out it's a hidden div flooded with keywords and might penalise.
it'd not be wrong if i say that it's a gamble i don't want to take. -- This message may have been cut off and the rest will only be shown to members. To become a member, click here --

The serach engines will find it, read it and evaluate it without a problem. The problem is when the SPAM catching algorythms that actually do check for these things find out what it is, or one of your competitors reports you to the SE's. This happens all the time.How often do you see sites with cloaked keywords all through them in top results for more then a couple of days? You can try it, and it may well work for a while, but be prepared for your site to be banned pretty soon.

What you have to decide is if the short-term gains will be worth buring that site for, and that's up to you. -- This message may have been cut off and the rest will only be shown to members. To become a member, click here --

Instead of simply posting and saying "Good Advice", why not click the button, and add to the user's repuation? -- This message may have been cut off and the rest will only be shown to members. To become a member, click here --

I have used this technique on a few sites and have been penalized by Google for it. I wouldn't recommend it, Google is getting too smart these days to be fooled by simple tricks like these.Instead of trying to fool google, you could have a phrase at the top of your page which sums up the content, like:
"Xenical is a weight loss drug used to help speed up the slimming processs. etc"
Have it in smaller text, but still readable at the very top of your page, near the <body> tag. Also make sure your content is on topic, use h1's, alt tags etc. -- This message may have been cut off and the rest will only be shown to members. To become a member, click here --

i think i will make sure that i eliminate those layers then. i only used them in webpages that do not have images on the top anyways, so only on a couple of them ....better not take any chances.... -- This message may have been cut off and the rest will only be shown to members.

Probably. It's not very hard. It probably adheres to CSS 2.1 and HTML 4.1 Strict. It might even be able to run Javascript as well -- who knows? Maybe include support for DOM 2. I don't like the idea of screwing with the lowly GoogleBot. -- This message may have been cut off and the rest will only be shown to members. To become a member, click here --

I've heard Google employees routinely conduct manual spot checks on websites, especially those that get good pageranks. This "hidden layers" thing is not gonna last you long. It's unethical, misleading, and plain bad. -- This message may have been cut off and the rest will only be shown to members. To become a member, click here --
