Does hiding tags hide them from search engines as well?

  • I want to remove my tags from my displaying in my posts, but not at the risk of search engines not seeing the tags.

    Also, I read that entering this in your custom CSS is a good way to do it.

    .tags
    {
    display: none;
    }

    Would you guys agree? I have the Pinboard theme if that makes a difference.

    Hiding tags will not hide them from search engines. It will only hide it from human visitors.

    Edit: But Google frowns upon presenting something different to search engines and excessive use of hiding (for ex, display: none) can get a penalization.
