Default Defiintion of Search Engine Cloaking. Is it Legal? Ethical?

1) Does Cloaking work?
2) How does Cloaking work?
3) Is Cloaking legal and legit?
4) Is Cloaking Unethical?

We have all heard the term, but what does it mean? Everytime I ask
someone I get some obscure mumble-jumble that just leaves me scratching
my head.

The mumble-jumble usually ends with something like..Buy It you need it
to get ranked by Google!

Then I say how does it rank me again? Then it is back the
mumble-jumble.

The price tags on Cloakers are generally pretty high and before I was
going to dish out a couple of bills I want to know exactly what I am
getting and that I don't have to be a programmer to install the thing.
I have thrown money away on advertising that doesn't work before $5
here, $10 there, and I just chalk it up to experience, but there is no
way I am going to invest over $100 for something I can't use!

So in my infinite brilliance, I just decided to look up Cloaking on
Wikipedia. Low and Behold. There was the definition
de-mumble-jumblified.

This Quote is taken straight from Wikipedia

"In more recent times several well known and well respected sites have
taken up cloaking to deliver personalised content to their regular
customers. In fact, many of the top 1000 sites - including household
names like (amazon.com) - actively cloak. None of these have been
banned from search engines purely because of cloaking.

Increasingly, for a page without natural popularity due to compelling
or rewarding content to rank well in the search engines, Webmasters
must design pages solely for the search engines. This results in pages
with too many keywords and other factors that might be search engine
"friendly", but make the pages difficult for actual endusers to
consume. As such, cloaking is an important technique to allow
Webmasters to split their efforts and separately target the search
engine spiders and endusers.

As with anything, this technique can be used responsibly, or less so."

Okay four of my major question have just been answered.

1) Does Cloaking work?
2) How does Cloaking work?
3) Is Cloaking legal and legit?
4) Is Cloaking Unethical?

1) I imagine if companies such as Amazon are using this product that
is a pretty good indicator.

2) It works by creating a behind the scenes optimized page only
visible to search engine spiders.

3) Yes!

4) As long as it is not used for irrevelent content specifically for
spamming. Such as cloaking the keyword cookware when you are actually
selling porn. (at least I hope these two aren't related!)

At this point I decided that yes indeed, I do need this product. I have
a website that is new and as great as my product is, it just doesn't
get ranked unless you type in the exact name of the site.

I know personally when I am looking for a product the first place I go
is to the search engines. I type in my key words such as "unique office
gifts" and voila the perfect pages with the perfect products are there.
Rarely do I ever go to the Traffic Exchanges, Opt-in Email in my Spam
Folder, FFA Link Pages, Obscure Classified Ads (well sometimes
Craigslist), no I go to the Search Engines either Yahoo or Google and
type what I am looking for.

And my final question..Can this be used with an affiliate URL?

The answer is you can design a web page enabled with Cloaking that will
redirect to your affiliate URL. So for example for my main endeavor
which is giving away free advertising. I would design a site which I
would use the keywords, Free Advertising, Free Targeted Advertising,
Free MLM Advertising, Free Afilliate Advertising etc. which would
automatically redirect to http://www.hits2u.com/?217437 .
(I know cheap plug there!)

Anyhow after doing some research I finally found a new company that was
offering a special promo offer since they are just starting out. (Yes I
became an affiliate so I could purchase the software under my own
affiliate ID and get an extra 50% rebate returned to me as my affiliate
commission)

I am telling you this since I still get a percentage from my first
level affiliates which you will be if you do the same thing. Of course
I would love you to just sign up at full price but I am not greedy like
that! As a fellow on-line marketer I don't want to take advantage as so
many people do in this business.

For the record, no matter what company you decide to sign with they are
all selling the same thing. So if you are paying $150 or $500 you are
getting the same thing.

One last note before you sign up make sure your web hosting server
supports PHP it is generally very common but just be sure to double
check before you invest. If you do some research on the internet you
may actually find some free web hosting that supports this.

Here is a list of free hosting companies, I don't know from personal
experience so I am reluctant to vouch for any one company.

So from everything I can surmise. If you have a page to promote on the
internet and want your site to get ranked and would like to get a quick
and easy jump up on the competition this "Cloaking" is definitely the
way to go. $75 ( $150 - $75 Your affiliate payment commission) is the
absolutely lowest you will find anywhere. You can search until the cows
come home for a lower price, you will not find one! It may seem like a
lot but then I think to myself I know I have typed in Free Advertising
and Free Classifieds into the search engines before, and then I think
is this going to turn over in sales for me?

My answer?

You Betcha!
In fact I will be very surprised if selling this system itself as an
affiliate will not generate a profit!

The price is right for a product that does the job!

Final note: The owner of this company is EXTREMELY helpful! Even
offering to set up the system on my server for me.

Contact me if you have any questions.
