How to Hide Your Tags
Tags are keywords added to a Web page to help search engines find and rank it. Some site owners strategically add tags within the content of a web page in a way that makes it seem natural. Others include the tags in a hidden list. If you have a website and you want to hide your list of tags, you can do so with a piece of HTML code. This code will also work on most online locations that support HTML.

Tips & Warnings
Your tags will still be visible in your source code and anyone can view the source code for each of your Web pages.
If you are using a website wizard through your website host to build your pages, check to see if there is a section to include hidden tags. Most website wizards offer this feature.
Spamdexing is the act of manipulating the ranking of a website in a search engine. For example, if you add the same word to your list of hidden tags 100 times, your Web page will be ranked higher in the search engines when people search for that particular word, even if the word never actually appears on your website. Although using hidden tags appropriately is allowed, don't overuse a tag and don't use tags that are irrelevant to your website. Doing so may result in your website being removed from individual search engines for spamdexing.
