Site Cloaking. Three Keywords Are Better Than One.
So you wanna know how to cloak. Well first let me explain what cloaking is and what it’s used for.
CLOAKING
Well, cloaking is pretty much showing search engines one site, and regular people another site. For example, when GoogleBot visits your site, it sees “KEYWORD KEYWORD KEYWORD” whilst a real, living, breathing person visits your website, he will see “Company Name - Bringing you the best KEYWORD”. Now, which one is better for SEO? Obviously the page that Googlebot sees. Now you see the tremendous advantage that cloaking can give your site, here is some code:
$ip_array = array //an array of IP addresses
(
‘127.0.0.1′,
‘64.233.187.99′,
‘72.232.214.58′
);
$ip = $_SERVER[‘REMOTE_ADDR’]; //Gets visitors IP
if (in_array($ip, $ip_array)) //If the visitors IP matches one in the array…
{
echo ‘KEYWORD KEYWORD KEYWORD’; //The page displays this
}
else //Otherwise…
{
echo ‘Pizza’; //The page displays this
}
Now all you need is a list of the IPS the search engines use. This you can find by searching the internet but here are a few I found:
500 Google IPs - Rising through the ranks in Google has top priority over the rest. These 500 Google ips will hook you up with 500 Google databases and skyrocket your rankings.
Search engine robots that visit your web site - A list of the different spiders and their IP addresses. This list isn’t a copy/paste though.
Personally, I don’t recommend using these techniques for blackhat SEO. chances are, your site will get banned. I would however use it this way.
Make a site about “beef” with domain “allaboutbeef.com”
Either buy another domain or free hosting at geocities/t35/tripod and set up your cloaking mechanism on index.php in the following way
Bots see: beef, beef recipes, beef contests, beef this, beef that
People see:
<?php
header("HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently");
header("Location: http://allaboutbeef.com/");
?>
This way, bots rank your “fake” domain for all of the keywords you want and when people search for those keywords, they get redirected to your real site.
Will you get penalized if you use this method? No. Search engines will only penalize the site that is cloaking. The page that people are redirected to will not be penalized. Why not? What if you decide to wipe out your competitor from the search engines by using this method. You’d simply redirect to your competitors site and hes done. Taking this into account, search engines only wipe out the offending site.
