Question about partner linking page

[frobn]

A site certainly doesnt have to be cached to be in the index, some shadier SEO companies with use the no-archive tag to hide their source from prying eyes viewing the cache and then source (In realtime they use other compression methods for hiding source.

I personally would not link with any site implementing CSS to hide divs

If you view this page byronbayguide.com.au/includes/javahider.css you can see this code

.hide_div {
visibility: hidden;
}

They are intentionally creating a div to hide information of one kind or another. Sward I am going to kill the live link in your post as we dont want to link to them from here either, but my advise is to stay well away from this site they are clearly violating the SE's TOS.

The above code does look suspect but I did not go to the referenced site. There are legit uses to hide text and or images. I use this technique to make a page printable without the left or right column or perhaps the footer to print out. It's helpful when you want to give a user the option to print listing information and images without going through the need of making an additional printable page.

Another use is to print text over an image of text so that it can be read by the search engines. There was a discussion on this technique at webmasterworld.com not long ago. While most thought it would not trigger a SE penalty I would not risk it, there are other css techniques to make an image readable.

Hummm good point so does the "redirect links feature " in the code quoted below effect anything? I don't understand CSS but I have to learn quick as my next site will be with it. Does this look like a viable link? What about the .hide_div {
visibility: hidden;
}

So there is no way to know what it is used for?
Thanks Sward

my link looks like this
<td colspan="2" class="no_reci_class"><!-- 080305 - redirect links feature --> <a class="BlueLink" href = "http://www.greatgeorgiaproperties.com" target="_blank"><b> Georgia mountain land </b></a><br> <span class="SiteText"> Hiawassee Georgia mountain land. </span></td>
