Its prohibited by Google since you are trying to bias the serp ranking.

 

I understand, but it still works great eh?

 

I see a ban in your future.

 

It all depends how well you can make Google fool....

 

Yes everybody, i know you get banned in about 6 months time. But that is not the point. The point is affording $2 .info names and then cloaking that to redirect to your main page. Giving you lots of traffic or lots of sales. Especially for affiliate networks. Get your .info domain banned for a great amount of traffic sounds good to me. But please let me know your opinions.

 

Cloaking is not a good idea. You're site may get penalize by doing this.

 

Some people keep doing and trying to use that, some works for sometime but surely get penalized after sometimes.

 

A technique used by some Web sites to deliver one page to a search engine for indexing while serving an entirely different page to everyone else. There are opposing views as to whether or not cloaking is ethical. Cloaking is not a good.

 

yes very good idea to get you permanent ban from Google and getting thrown out of the index.

 

I agree with Red Virus - good idea

 

At the same URL showing one page to a search engine spider and a different page to a human visitor. this is not for good.

 

By Cloaking, your website can get some boost for some time being, but ultimately these activities will lead your website to a ban....

 

Don't believe all the misinformation out there. Cloaking isn't a black and white issue.

YouTube, Amazon and many mainstream news websites all use cloaking.

That said, if you're considering it for black hat purposes, cloaking is pretty much the poor man's IP delivery.

 

Here http://www.google.com/support/webmasters/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=66355 , You can find Google guidelines about cloaking and all related issues...

 

Yes that is right, I read about it some where that cloaking upto certain degree is allowed and Youtube and some big sites actually cloak pages.

I think Rand wrote a blog post about pearly white cloaking (for good) on SEOmoz blog somewhere.

 

Here is a General rule of thumb - if you don't know what are you doing in Black Hat SEO, don't do it on important sites. I don't think its bad to try to test things as long as you know the consequences

 

Google expressly forbids this practice and you will get banned when they discover it on your web pages.

 

this involves hiding content on a page, by presenting one page to the Search Engines, but a different page to other users. It has some legitimate uses but is disliked by some Search Engines as the general culture of the internet is open and honest. don't eva' think about it, you'll get penalized.

 

It doesn't.

It forbids the misuse of it.

If you're considering cloaking for black hat purposes, stop and think again.

You can achieve the same results and effectively wipe out the chances of getting caught by using IP delivery.
