How to cloak text on a page?

[karupoiss]

So.. basically.. I want G to index the text on my site but when the visitor arrives I want him not to see the text but only my email submit form.

I thought about making the text the same color as the background - seems that they have a patent for discovering it?
I thought about putting the text inside a div element like accordion or smth - seems it is a hit and miss if G indexes it or not (from what I have read)
I thought about leaving a multiple rows of white blank space before the article begins so the user has to scroll way down to see the article (haven't tried, how does it affect SEO?)
I could make the website display div with email submit form ontop of the whole site (has anybody tried it?)

Which of these methods would be the best to get the text indexed but make the user not see the text and only my email submit form?

You should actually cloak the page to show different versions to each of the users and googlebot,
for a simple paragraph/text, it shouldn't be a hard task, just wrap it with an id and use a js code to do the trick,
just google for some cloaking code if you're new into this

don't use this method.

It will be ok if you display the form in a popup.

I was thinking of doing a referral redirection through htaccess but I have heard from the Argo content generator creator that it doesn't last long until it is discovered (but.. as he is selling a solution himself I don't know if I can 100% trust that opinion). Buying great cloaking solutions is way too expensive (over 1000 dollars).
