updating the cloaking ip database

[nickc001]

Hi again,

From what I understand it can be a problem if you don't keep the database that holds the IP addresses of the spiders/robots updated (weekly / daily ? what do people recommend?)

If this list was not updated regularly enough then I assume that a new spider or a spider with a changed IP address would get to see the page that is output to human users.

Would this ever lead to you being blacklisted by the Search Engines. I would have thought the only problem with this would be that your un-optimised 'user' pages would be ranked lower. I cannot see that this should cause a blacklisting but there is much talk on this forum about being careful when starting out in cloaking for reasons of being blacklisted. Can someone please clear this up for me.

thanks,

Nick
