I am considering some A/B split testing. This uses redirects to different versions of a home page, for example, and then tracks conversions. Is this considered cloaking? If so, what do all the major players do for split testing (ie: Dell, Amazon)?

Thanks.
What is a static site supposed to do if they want to do split testing?

It isn't as easy to do split testing with a static site. I don't recommend using JavaScript/CSS to do it because you could get a hidden text penalty. Maybe you could use Server Side Includes to do it?
