h1 {
position: absolute;
top: -10000px;
}
No need to risk the embarrasment of having the h1 element seen on a 12,000 pixel resolution screen.

Joseph,
I agree with Nick, except I would do 9999px. I made the mistake of
doing 999px one time, and on a large monitor the h1 snuck in from the
side and it was embarassing!
So your CSS would look like this:
h1 {
position: absolute;
left: -9999px;
}
Search engines will still see it that way and there is no chance that
it will show on your layout.
