HTML Inspiration! Search engine friendly Flash sites using offset HTML copy

Whilst building my portfolio site i've had to learn a lot of new things. Specifically HTML and making my site search engine friendly. A friend suggested offsetting a load of descriptive copy of my site by -100000 pixels. Which after some trial and error has worked a treat. The beauty of this method is that it's simple - great for a designer / animator like me. And more importantly that the text is hidden from the user but not from Google!

I applied this paragraph style to offset the body copy;
"p style="text-indent: -100000px; width:200px"
