SEO in IPB and general H1 usage question

envioner · 07-14-2010, 03:27 AM

Hi warriors,

Just joined the forums recently (so hi all) and was wondering about something that I noticed recently.

Invisionpoweboard is "hiding" it's H1 tags not by "display:none" or background colour matching techniques but rather using "text-indent:-9999px" thus placing it somewhere non obtrusive to the viewer.

My question is how does this affect search engine indexing / placement etc... does it pass as a normal h1 or is it "penalized" as a "hidden h1"

Thank you in advance

Algorithmically it would pass.
