    Default URL Cloaking: Good or Bad?

    Hello,

    I was wondering about your opinion regarding URL cloacking. I have used URL cloacking 7-8 years ago, buy am wondering if Google and search engines in general like that or not.

    The idea is that when someone hovers your link, they don't necessarily have to see the real link in the grey status bar on the bottom of the browser window.

    To cloak or not to cloak?

    Advice?

    Some clocking codes are allowed and some not. If you clocking both for google spiders and users to then its fine but if you display 2 different result to users and google spiders then Google panelized your website.

    Cloaking is a black hat seo technique. Google doesn't like it. If you want to redirect any url then use 301 or 302 url redirection.
