Does anyone know if the search engines (Google), can see the text in a hidden module.  Or a module that is only visable to the admin.

This could be useful for keywords.  I know that its a bad idea to stuff keywords but some of my pages have very little text on them and the actual content is a little deeper.  So bascially I have sections that contain articles but the sections themselves do not have anywhere I can have much text.  I would  rather optimise the sections for search engines than the artices themselves.

If that makes sense

Or is there a way of making hidden modules googlebotable.  Or is there somthing that I can use to check.

 

Cheers

Well

Currently after much testing, no hidden or modules that are only visible to admins are not visable to search engines. 

Anyone know of another method to stuff some content in to nearly empty pages

 

Cheers

you might try to use a hidden div in a text/html module, butI am not sure, how the search engines will handle it.

Why not just add the keywords/description in the Page Settings?  If there's a reason you don't want to do it this way....how about....

...Adding a Text/HTML module to a page that contains no content...only a summary.  Hide the container in that module.  lace it somewhere within the page so that, if it does have some "height", it won't be problematic.
