CSS display and visibility - Effects on SEO

10

I'm doing a website and applying some SEO techniques, however I have a div that needs to be hidden (property display:none; and visibility:hidden; ). What is the effect on search engines for this DIV element? Would it work in the same way on tags <ul> and <ol> ?

This will have a bad impact on SEO if this tag is a tag you want to use for purposes of delivering content to search engines (can be confused with cloacking).

Ideally, you should not hide tags that contain content that can be used as a keyword in the search engine, h1 tags for example are often poor options to hide.

Take a look at the content of these tags and consider whether it's worth changing your visibility on search engines.
