Use Div Tags Too Hide Words As Content For Seo Optimization?

Hello, i recently read that a good tip for seo optimization is too have atleast 500 words in your webpages… can this be hidden and still read by the div tag? So if i used div = height 1 width = 1 and fill it with words relating to my sites content, it would still be read by search engines such as google and the like?? Thanks in advance!

    General rule of thumb for SEO – don’t ‘hide’ anything. The major search engines are looking for applicable, appropriate content for the website’s end user. If you hide key phrases it might work for a while but if the SE gets wind of it (especially Google) it will likely ban your site. Best thing to do is write good, user-friendly, informative text, litter it with ‘hot’ keywords to other areas of the site and develop a symbiotic link exchange. The more links coming to your site from other sites, the better, whether they’re reciprocal or not.
