phpmaven, I'm with you. I've been reading alot lately about cloaking. I've had a top ranking site in a niche market for over a year, then suddenly I was outranked by some other sites who aren't even keyworded as well as mine is. I wonder if they cloak.

Here's my question along these same lines. (please forgive my ignorance if I'm off the beam here...)

If someone creates lots of related text pages, will they show up in Marketleap? Meaning, if someone suspects me of cloaking, can they prove it? I've looked at some of my competitors's sites and found 100s or 1000s of pages, but Google only shows about the top 200. (I may have answered my own question, but still want your input.)

I know there are ethical issues here, but the fact remains, if my competitors are taking from my revenue because they (might) cloak, do I have any other option but to try it myself?

Thanks, in advance, for any suggestions or comments.
