Being aesthetic is one thing, but for whatever reason should WT place information on non-viewable location? Since it's not even viewable, why bother to include that text/data/info in the site? If it's spam, it's spam. Of no offense to Willy, I think your conclusion might be wrong. Being aesthetic is one thing, but for whatever reason should WT place information on non-viewable location?

I think the key is whether it is "deceptive in intent", and for the case of Wordtracker, it's probably more for aesthetic web design purposes, rather than to trick Google.
