---- Pseudo-Cloaking using CSS

I had an idea. Maybe this has been tried, so I thought I'd run it by the board for some opinions.

I'm using a CSS file to position a graphic (banner) at the top of a page. I found that since the CSS always gets it's way, it will cover anything else that happens to be there.

So what if I were to put some keyword links up there and maybe some keywords with H1 tags, right up there high on the page where the spiders like 'em?

Sure it'd look like a train wreck in the Google cache, but it already will because of the absolute positioning of the graphic. My concern is will any of the browsers see it? Also, it seems to me that it borders on the same principle as invisible text. So far IE and Opera don't show it. Just wondering if anyone else has tried this technique? I couldn't have been the first to think of it.

Anyone?
