I noticed a site suddenly appear at #1 a few days ago in my industry - literally from nowhere. Looking a little closer at the source, they're using a very interesting layout.

There is a huge amount of keyword rich text in the source code, but I can't actually see it anywhere on the page in my browser. Searching for it returns no results either, so it's not the white on white trick.

Anyone know if a layout like this is good or bad:


<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<title>
<meta name="keywords" content=""/>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"/>
<meta name="robots" content="Index, Follow"/>
<meta name="GOOGLEBOT" content="Index, Follow"/>
<link href="/css/default.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"/>
<style type="text/css"> ton of css here
</style><script type="text/javascript"</script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="popBox" class="popBox"><p> HUGE amount of keyword-rich text which isn't visible on the homepage here
<a class="popBox_close" href="#"></a></div>
Usual content here
</script>
</body>
</html>
