: From SEO point of view is hiding H1 in this case bad for indexing? I'm having to use a 3rd party CMS and I cannot change the contents of the h3 (or the h3 itself) I've not had too much

I'm having to use a 3rd party CMS and I cannot change the contents of the h3 (or the h3 itself)

I've not had too much dealing with "cufon" - presume its an old fashioned way of using a specific font. I'm guessing it's not legit HTML so not indexed.

Therefore I wanted to include the page's header in an H1

<h3>
<span class="someClassDictatingTheFontToUse">
<cufon class="cufon cufon-canvas" alt="Alternative text " style="..inline styles..">
<canvas width="73" height="18" style="..inline styles.."></canvas>
<cufontext>Page </cufontext></cufon><cufon class="cufon cufon-canvas" alt="Page" style="..inline styles..">
<canvas width="76" height="18" style="..inline styles.."></canvas>
<cufontext>Content</cufontext>
</cufon>
</span>
</h3>

<!-- im proposing this -->
<h1 class="offthepage_or_verysmall">Page Content</h1>

<p>This is my content etc</p>


where

.offthepage { margin-left:-10000px; position:absolute}


or

.verysmall { height:1px, position:absolute; left:1px; etc }


Would the page be penalised (from SE indexing perspective) for that?

or is there a more robust / SE friendly way of doing it without it being consider keyword stuffing?

thanks
