Yeah, I agree with air. Is it possible for for a search engine spider to catch a cloaked site?

The answer is no. Not if you're using DNS and IP's only. A human can catch you so if you're going on the radar taking a keyword that gets millions of searches a month then ya you might have something to worry about, but no they can't catch you....a human would have to go from their search engine records and then look at what your site offers and even then you could say we did a site redesign. It all depends on how your cloaked pages look or what's on them.

I maybe the only one but when I find a site that when I look at it I see no one in hell this thing could be number 1 and I see it's not a directory listing I'll spoof my IP to the most known spider IP address and then go look at it on my linux box. That'll tell me right off the bat what it is. If you're using agents to cloak your script you should stop because agents can be easily fed to a web page and caught easier.
