Is it really worth it in the long run????

It's generally understood that Google uses spam reports and other comms to asses and modify the algorithm. Not sure there is manual intervention at all.

In my experience using the "display: none;" these days will not assist SEO at all, so as long as it is not used to artifically enhance listings or for SEO perposes it's cool. Working on the potential that the google bots will ignore the elements using "display: none;" you should be careful where it is applied.

The safest approach would be to avoid using "display: none;" at all...

Cheers.

Not your fault, herk. It's Steve Caple's fault for resurrecting it.
