Quick Advice - CSS - SEO Class Invisible

All:

The pages in my site all include the following in the body:

<h2class="seo">Software vendor negotiations,IT RFI,IT RFP.<ahref=" ht*p://www.technologybuyersadvocate.com ">wwwTechnologyBuyersAdvocate.com</a></h2>

The CSS for the "seo" class defines the class such that it is not visible on a given page:

.seo { position : absolute ; left : -100px ; top : -100px ; right : 0 ;}

Question: Does this technique violate Google's no hidden text or links rule? Does it matter that the invisibility is accomplished in the style sheet and not within the HTML on the page itself?

You can view the full page source code (minus the style sheet) at www.TechnologyBuyersAdvocate.com.

Thanks in advance for your input.

If the text is invisible, yes Google will punish it.
