Hidden navigation

Hello,

I'm building a new website right now. i do have a question regarding hidden content: I built a one page layout but need some sub pages with my keywords. I want the search engines to crawl the subpages but not my visitors. I wanna color the links to black on black background.

Are there any issues? Will searchengines crawl it? Any possibility to get penalized?

Thanks

Hidden content? Wasn't that used in the 80's?

lol...

It sounds like you're wanting to cloak, which is still somewhat effective if done properly. Yes, you will get penalized if a human visitor from a search engine company sees your hidden navigation.

It's blackhat as hell, but the risks far outweigh the rewards.

Google slap

Hehe so I better leave the navigation links white on black background Sorry, still new to this stuff.

Do have another question:

I got about 12 keywords. Should I build links for any of these (let's say about 10 backlinks for each keyword as an anchor text) or for the main site?

you can actually buy list of ips of google bots, so you'll only show that content to them)

You sure can, or you can derive them yourself if you're clever. However, when you have a human visitor from Mountain View, CA or numerous other non-datacenter IPs from around the world visiting your site and the content isn't there, then you're busted.

Cool, so he cloaks the other 200k IPs google has and hopes they, the "humans", dont have connections with RR, Verizon, Rogers or whatever. At least that is what I do

Nah I didn't want want to hide the navigation with display:none or visibility:hidden. Just wanted to write black texts on black background. Don't get me wrong: The links in the navigation bar refer to actual pages. Which means that the pages the navi is referring to are completely readable and do make sense. I want google to index them so people searching for one of these keywords gets to the subpage. Just don't want people on the front page heading there as these links on the top of my page look a bit spammy (keywords).
