I would like to incorporate this into my bolg and alert my readers to it's existence but I'm a little confused here. Does the widget indeed contain hidden links that Google would frown upon? If so I would probably steer clear. I have not seen this before but I’m definetly going to do due diligence on it.

Does the widget indeed contain hidden links that Google would frown upon?

Hidden links are against googles T&Cs and can result in google removing the site that the hidden links are on from the index. In other words your site gets the penulty as a result of importing dodgy code. Not worth the risk. If you view the code source on this page for the widget you will see the following within the widget code:- <a href="http://www.workcircle.com" rel="nofollow">Jobs</a> from Workcircle.com An anchor text link for the keyword "Jobs" wrapped in a no script tag. I dont know why workcircle would want to do this other than to game search engines to rank them better for the term "Jobs". It will be a matter of time before google pulls them for it. If you read Matt Cutts from Googles blog on hidden links this kind of thing is clearly against their T&Cs It would be interesting to read workcircles responce to this TJ Blair,
