    Is there any advantage to use IP based cloaking over user-agent based cloaking? Can google detect user-agent based cloaking?

    Basically, anybody can fake a user-agent, so I would just have to fake my firefox useragent and change it to "googlebot" and magically I could see your cloaked spammy page -> banned

    IP delivery is superior in that one cannot fake an IP address
