Hi Joe, Thanks for posting this link-it was very interesting to read. I just got this info from another publication about Google, which is quite worrisome: ...Google [is] declaring all hidden links as bad and automatically checking every page for them...Most invisible links do fall into the spam category, but not all. If you look at http://www.cnn.com/ you will find an invisible GIF link telling you to "Click here to skip to main content." Is this spam? Absolutely not. What CNN is doing is an accessibility technique called "skip navigation" to make their site friendlier to people with disabilities. I really hope they are not going to penalize people for trying to make sites more accessible :( Cheers Lisa At 10:01 AM 6/6/2003 -0400, Joe Clark wrote: >A page good for Google is a page good for humans.
