It's only difficult to work out because someone has attached some "web word" to what is a really simple principle. The idea of cloaking is to deliver different content based upon the current client viewing the web site. It can be used as a good or bad feature dependent on how you use it. Say, you have www.foo.com/page.php Well, dependent on who is looking at your site you just let page.php include some other page, it's nothing more than a central hub to a lot of other pages. It will just include the right content dependent on the current viewing client. The reason Google and such will look down upon it is that if you use this technique with them you can alter the page when you detect google spidering and deliver perfect (usually not very nice for us humans to read) content which will improve your ranking; imagine: if (google_spidering) { include "perfect_google_page.inc"; } else { include "for_other_people.inc"; } "Ryan A" <ryan@jumac.com> wrote in message news:001401c313e1$c91aec20$1301400a@l2zcaxu7emppqh... > Hi Guys, > I have been reading a lot about "Site Cloakers" to increase traffic to ones > website via the search engines. > After visiting the script archives (hotscripts,scriptssearch etc) i have > found a couple but most of them are commerical as well as being REALLY > expensive with closed code (i think) so I cant really learn anything of how > it EXACTLY works. > > Does anyone know of a good site cloaker that works and is cheap/free? > > I hear some of them can actually get you banned from google...which as you > can imagine is a horrorable horrorable fate not wishable on your worst > enemy........just your compettion ;-D > > Any suggestions/comments? > > Thanks, > -Ryan >
