I know that I can provide hidden text that bots can see but users can't -- as demonstrated by this: http://www.webbytedd.com/examples/offleft/ As such, I wonder if that may provide a twist to this. However, it would only exist for sighted users. I think that what Steve suggest may have some merit. I need to think of some examples.
