I'm using hidden forms, to collects some statistics.
Will it have any penalty from search engines ?
Update 1:
I'm collecting some statistics, based on user interaction with my website. For example, POST requests will be sent to server, when:
- user stops a playing video
- user has watched a video till it's end
- etc.
Using form_remote_for in Rails, i'm just rendering the form and keep it invisible.
The reason on doing that - is to utilize authencity tokens, and just have less to code. Via JavaScript i'm only filling some hidden fields up and initiating form submission.
