      The developers want to use hidden divs to display links to each page of our photo gallery from the first page to Google but only previous and next buttons to users. Will this be a problem? Is it the best solution?

        Google doesn't like "cloaking" type things, showing them different stuff than you show the users will get you penalized. Don't do it.
