Hi all If I’m using http referrer command on a page, based on an entrance keyword to a page, the http referrer will place different content on the page (not replacing the whole page, but just big part of it). Command line is: @$HTTP_REFERER My questions are: 1. Can this be considered as cloaking or blackhat technique? This will be implemented on strictly white hat sites. 2. Can the new content be indexed by search engines – mainly big G (my thoughts are no, since its referrer based on keywords, and bots visit as user agents). Any thoughts and ideas are welcomed, Thanks
thought the rule was that if you present a different page to people than you do to the bots then it WAS cloaking...
Cloaking is sometimes based on http_referrer, so I think if you are going to do that then it is black hat otherwise http_referrer itself doesn't mean black hat...
I tried searching for HTTP _REFFER but cant uderstand anything!! Its new thing for me. CAn someone explain it here properly with examples, them May be I can predict what effects it can have on SEO!!!
