a page for search engines to see. Humans aren't supposed to see
them at all, and various black hat techniques can be used to hide
them. White hat techniques, use content and links designed for

techniques can take some time to implement (although not
necessarily) but their results tend to last for a long time
(although, again, not necessarily).
