PODoes google punish for links hidden for better user experience?

copied!<p>Currently I have a very clean and (according to me)beautiful home page of my website (<a href="http://www.writerbabu.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.writerbabu.com</a>) for the non logged-in users and only very important links are on this page. </p> <p>Now I want to include some more links and some descriptive content on this so that:</p> <ol> <li>users who want to know more can find the content on the same page</li> <li>have some SEO advantage with better interlinking by having some more relevant links</li> </ol> <p>I also <em>don't want to let go of the clean look</em> and don't want to clutter the page with too many links and text. SO one solution that I thought is:</p> <blockquote> <p>Place only one button like link with the text <strong><em>"More useful links"</em></strong> and when user clicks on it, show the links. Note that basically I will be turning the <code>display:none;</code> property to <code>display:block;</code> for some div container which holds the links (using jQuery).</p> </blockquote> <p>My concern is that <strong>"Google don't like the hidden links"</strong>.</p> <p><strong>Will my site's Google PR(page rank) will be affected if I do what I have proposed above?</strong></p> <p>An example of something similar to what I am planning to do can be seen here in the footer of <a href="http://www.bigbite.in" rel="nofollow">http://www.bigbite.in</a>. Click on the "Delhi" or "Noida" a pop up will appear which contains the link.</p> <p>Please help!! Sorry if I asked something very obvious.</p>
