Thread: text-indent:-10em is hide the text under image, does google spam it?

what happen if we make css in that we put text-indent:-100em and give background image so text will go behind the image.

in other words text will hide under image.

is that ok with google, code is below

#logo a { background:url(../images/logo.png) no-repeat;}
#logo a{border:none;text-indent:-10000em;}

<h1 id="logo"><a href="index.html">your keyword</a></h1>

The easiest option would be to just use z-index to hide it behind the image.

Regardless, hidden text is [B][U]BAD[/U][/B].

but z-index do not supported by all browsers, i saw many big company is doing this way. AXA, Zurich.

According to W3, all browsers support z-index.

Text hiding is very Bad according to Google. If you want do it you will use z-index...

hiding text in any way that your visitors is not a good idea.. it might work but not gonna last for long..

Big companies also have very big marketing budgets that encompass SEO, so they're not likely to drop down.
