Hi,
If you were a bot, would you stop reading as soon as you noticed a <marquee> tag? No you wouldn't.
Don't know about your second question though. Depends on the amount of keywords in there, I guess.

PR has nothing to do with on page optimization as far as I know. It is calculated from incoming links.
I have no idea if the gbot grabs it, don't really know why it would because it is too easy to abuse.
I feel that a marquee is sooooo 1998.

We all know how G thinks of those...

They may not notice the "heaps of hidden keywords" yet because of the marquee tag, but you can bet once they do that you will be penalized for them.

:) Exactly! Some people seem to forget that what is written here is read by thousands upon thousands of people.

It only takes one, the wrong one.

BTW, I just noticed Lawman as one of this forum's mods and no more WG. I obviously missed something.

Or the right one, if your goal is better SERPs for the searcher. ;)
