Hello!

I have got a question. Please, help me, if you can.

I am creating a php website. I want to create the website menu with image, because of the design, but for SEO it is not the best. For SEO purposes, making the menu by list is better. (if I know it well).

A friend of mine make a motion for me: Create the menu with image, use it as background image. And use the list as menu, but move the element of the list left 160 pixels. In this case, the user can't see the text of list, only see the menu image as background. The Google sees that the menu is text. In this case the menu is nice and it is good for SEO.

Is this legitimate for Google? Is this not a trickery?

Thank you in anticipation!
