I loved Matt's style of talks , I miss Matt ! #chrispalmerseo
You are wrong, there is a white hat cloaking and it is very important.
For example. If I hide admin panel from evil google bot, so nobody knew my directory structure and the file names (except me) then my website is more secure from attacks.
GoogleBot HAPPY!
i am also HAPPY!
And Googlelandia is also happy..
Thank You.😂😂
Great video #GoogleIndia
7:11 The best 30 seconds.
The sound volume is a bit low.
very helpful.
IE7 was never standardized box model … 😉
Thanks sir for your valuable information
Also, why are you mentioning IE instead of Chrome?
What about the Accept-Language header? Not everyone in a given country necessarily speak's that countries language very well. Tourists are a good example. IP address is a decent backup if there is no Accept-Language header or it contains no available languages.
Hi ,sorry out of topic, i want to ask, how to out from google sandbox? Everybody please reply my ask .
i have been cloaking for 10 years now without any issue
What if I send you a bit different version just to make it easier to parse? I'm not gonna put different text, images, links. How to promote a website the best way? I'm not gonna trick your bot to put my website higher.
do you have any example video for cloacking
Porn and cartoons its same thing. hahah
>>> GOOGLE If I'm uploading a file while you are scanning my site will it mistake it for Cloaking ?
This was very helpful thanks!
If I search cartoon and end up with a new porn site, I would be like
MUHAHAHAHA
To cover the nonworking and diverting the real issues these useless and unnecessary contaversies are brought into forefront. Otherwise what purpose is served and what gain is made by these roumermongers
Googlelandia 😂😂
lol, now Chrome just translates language client side 😀 2011 tch tch.
Nice video but it does not go into detail how to actually cloak lol
Hello sir,
You did not explain one particular thing: What if our website is purely ajax based with no graceful degradation, and when we detect a Googlebot we serve it an HTML page which is equivalent to what the a user would see after the ajax calls have loaded his page?
Specifically, do things like "Seoserver" fall into the "Cloaking" category?
Seoserver link: https://github.com/thomasdavis/seoserver
"Seo Server is a command line tool that runs a server that allows GoogleBot(and any other crawlers) to crawl your heavily Javascript built websites. Seo Server runs PhantomJs(headless webkit browser) which renders the page fully and returns the fully executed code to GoogleBot."
But what about Cloaking Affiliate Links ??
If user lands on a specific page he was finding for and he likes the product OR service on that particular page and then clicking on the link on that page the user lands on the other page with relavent content and make a purchase.
If any one can answer it ?? Please help.
tnx, познавательно и поучительно +1
This doesn;t pertain to Google,but I find annoying that Canada who spells like the U.K.does not have an option in which it appears your from the U.K. not Canada,or the other choice is to appear like an American.Either way Canadians appear to be from somewhere else and the equivalent of Google Bot is given false info.
Why no mention of multivariate & A/B testing? Based on the definition of "cloaking" above, then any testing program like "Adobe Test & Target" will be considered cloaking, as they intentionally exclude Google from their tests.
