I am working with a company on improving their rankings in google. When I went to look at the competition the number 1 positioned website seems a little suspicious on their SEO practices. They have hidden a tremendous amount (157 lines of code) of content within a div tag. It goes as far as using tables, text links, headings and body copy. When I look at the text cache from google it is even hidden there until I view source and poof it appears.
I know what the standard "NO NO's" are - this one has me scratching my head. I want to provide the best service to my client, and I do not believe in spamming at all. But with a tactic like they are using how does one compete?
Thanks in advance

Same way as if they weren't there. It's not as if the top 20 are using varying blackhat techniques. Do what you do to rank it the best you can for the long haul. If you rank #2, you've done good and in the long run will have a #1 ranking across all the engines while the competition will be ranked good now but who knows later.

Use the Google Spam Report link on their site, file a report and include the keyword "jagger2" in the report.
Google are looking for sites like this and banning them during the major update going on right now.

Thank you - I will go ahead and use the standards for getting them into the engines. I went ahead and reported the site - let us see from there.
New trick on their part though
