I am using the negative-text-indent technique I learned to show a text-image to the user, while hiding the corresponding actual text.
This way the user sees the fancy styled text while search engines can still index it.
However I am started to think this sounds like cloaking since I am serving different content to the user vs the spider. However, I am not using this in a deceitful way. Plus it seems like this is a popular technique.
So is it SEO-safe or is it cloaking?
Thanks!
