In general, anything you do that is clearly intended solely to influence search engine ranking that doesn't improve the user experience is frowned upon and might get you banned from the big search monsters.
I don't have links, but all the big guys, especially Google are on record that the best way to improve your rank is to improve your site: add more relevant content; organize it better using standard HTML (ie...use Header tags). How sophisticated are their bots at sniffing out CSS tricks? Don't know, and they aren't saying. But you can assume you aren't the first to think of anything. my $.03, J.R.

Anyone know if this is frowned on by search engines? I can't find comment on it anywhere.
