Search engines will sill see the links if you use display:none;

Open your footer.php and add <?php if(false) { ?> above and <?php } ?> below the credit line.

So the code like

<?php if(false) { ?>
        <div id="credits">Powered by <a href="http://wordpress.org/"><strong>WordPress</strong></a> | Designed by: <a href="http://suv.reviewitonline.net/">Best SUV</a> | Thanks to <a href="http://suv.reviewitonline.net/lexus-suv/">Lexus SUV</a>, <a href="http://suv.reviewitonline.net/safest-suvs/">Safest SUVs</a> and <a href="http://suv.reviewitonline.net/nissan-suv/nissan-rogue/">Nissan Rogue</a></div><!-- #credits -->
<?php } ?>

There's a couple things you could do.

You could dive into the theme's source to find where it stops working if you don't have that credits line.

You could also use CSS to hide those links. This is a pretty dodgy approach, but it will do the trick:

#credits {
    display:none;
}
