Randomly Displayed Text: Hidden text issue?

[inhouseseo]

I want to add some script to my site so that a given page publishes a different paragraph of text every time the page loads. Something like randomly displayed testimonials (but with more text).

So, when you look at the page source, you would see all the text (e.g testimonial-1, testimonial-2, etc.), but the user would only see one paragraph randomly.

Would this be considered hidden text (one code for search engine, one for use)? Is there a safe number of words you can do this with without setting off red flags?

I appreciate the help.

You can simply use a bit of ajax or javascript to do this or even a dynamic php script.

Search engines will see all of the text within the html, as all you are doing is showing the user certain parts of the text. It is completely fine, search engines are ok with this.

You should however give the option so that the user can choose to view other testimonials.
