    Default Hi

    Yeah!!! It's a spamming technique . Clocking serves a different page to search engine spider than what is presented to the viewers. It an vilation of search engine guild lines and it leads to get banned form the search engine.

    Cloaking: -


    The process by which your Web site can display different pages under different circumstances. Primarily used to show optimized page to the search engines and a different page to humans. Most search engines will penalize a site if they discover that it is using cloaking.



    The hiding of page content. Involves providing one page for a search engine or directory and a different page for other user agents at the same URL. Legitimate method for stopping page thieves from stealing optimized pages, but frowned upon by some search engines resulting in penalties.

    cloaking is having two separate pages, one optimized for the search engines and a different one optimized for the viewer. cloaking is a big no-no with Google.

    Cloaking is "a website that returns altered webpages to search engines crawling the site". In other words, a human reading the site would see different content or information than the Googlebot or other search engine robot reading the site.

    Cloaking is a black hat search engine optimization (SEO) technique in which the content presented to the search engine spider is different to that presented to the user's browser. This is done by delivering content based on the IP addresses or the User-Agent HTTP header of the user requesting the page. When a user is identified as a search engine spider, a server-side script delivers a different version of the web page, one that contains content not present on the visible page. The purpose of cloaking is to deceive search engines so they display the page when it would not otherwise be displayed.
