Hello!
I have read that Google can punish site if text fx. is writen with white on white background or try to hide text.
But what happenes when I replace H1 with a picture? Or when move text out of the viewport by giving negative margin of -1000em to H1?
And for that matter is SIFR SEO frendly?
Thanks in advance!
Regards

Good question. I have also wondered for ages what happens with stuff like this, or even say an <h1> that is simply hidden using display:none... do the wors that are hidden still count to Google?

There is no real answer, the best answer out there is to place your stylesheets in a directory and then use the robots.txt to disallow any access from google to your stylesheets. This will however flag for manual review sometimes. I have noticed on a couple sites where I use a preload div (height:0;width:0;overfloat:hidden;) and throw my images in there that aren't accesses until rollover have not as high rankings. Flash can be crawled now, but I don't know to what extent SIFR is able to be crawled. It would be interesting to see what other people on here have to say.
I tried emailing google, but never got a response. Your best bet though is to try to get through to Matt Cutts. http://mattcutts.com/blog/ is his website. -

sIFR is SEO friendly. It replaces the HTML text in the source code (typically an h1) with the Flash version. The HTML text is, of course, spidered by search engines. -
