My site has just been penalised and I've been hunting around to find out what it might have been. This post just trigged what it might be. Thanks! I had added a hidden link that was required for a javascript popup.

Display None

The only thing that is difficult about the display none is when it comes to accessibility. While it is not ideal to use it for the skip nav in accessibility (displayed when rollover is better), some companies will not allow the display of the skip nav link. I asked Matt about this and he told me to play it safe it is best not to use it. Unfortunately, that limits options when corporate directives do not allow for the link to be on the page.
