I'm new to the themes deal. I mean in a sense i always used them, but never for an optimization technique. Lately I've noticed that some of you, Brett for example, has put alot of stock into this being the greater part of site rankings these days.
Here is my question. I have 7 manipulated pages which serve to different SE's via IP delivery. If I were to cross link these pages and have some sort of theme based in the words used on each page in the title, metas, and headlines, would this be a significant help?
In some cases my primitive cloaking has done me good. (I'm from Long Island, Why am I speaking hick?) Anyway, I've achieve SOME good rankings but never consistent. All of the pages I have made are optimized on KW density and KW placement, but that doesn't seem to cut it.
The only criteria, aside from the themes thing, is link pop, and I'm not to sure how to achieve that with my non visible spider served pages.... any insight?
Fresh domains are another story. If you are starting with a new domain that has never been indexed before, that is the time to establish a theme from the get go. I go so far as to set the thing up before it is open to the public and not have a root page. Normally your root page will walk on theme because it is diverse by it's very nature.
I think 10 page min for Alta and 12 min for Ink. A few less just doesn't seem to stick with Ink. I think there is something going on at Alta - I look for a change real soon and don't know how themes are going to work with the new algo I've heard is coming shortly.
Rolling your own link pop should be done the old fashioned way. Go out and beat some doors and get some links before you submit. I think there is alot of prep work for the domain to be done before submitting. Also, don't be affraid to link from your other domains, even if off topic for the other domain. Just make sure that you use keywords of the new domain in the inbound link.
For example, suppose the script you use has a directory for each engine you will cloak for. So that pages for AV are in one directory, pages for Ink are in another, pages for human visitors in yet another, and so on ... treat each of those directories as a sub site with links and all.
The script must use the same URL no matter which visitor (spider or person) it is serving to for each given page. This is very important, link pop cannot be achieved if the URL is different per engine for the same page. Whew, hope that makes sense.
The crosslinking would help a little a worst. Thats good to know.
As for the link pop, well, you kind of confused me a bit AIR. You say I should treat my pages as a cloaked site... so in other words....?
As of now. I submit my script pages which determine which IP gets what. My spiderfed pages are on a different domain, a sub web of a mispelled domain that we registered by accident. Now in order to gain link popularity I would have to assign the links to point to the redirect pages on the "dummy subdomain", right?
Excuse me if the questions seem simple, but the obvious has been avoiding me since I started this cloaking stuff. On that note, I'm going to the cloaking for beginners thread.
What I am describing is a domain where the real site exists, and for each search engine you cloak for the relationship is one real page, to one cloaked page, per search engine.
If we introduce redirects on separate domains, with "doorwayish" pages, and a ratio of many pages to one, then all bets are off, because you don't have to cloak to get into trouble with these methods, nor can you build link lop, 'cause I don't imagine you'll get too many willing to link to the "promotional" domain.
Welp. So basically there is no way I could cloak effectively unless I had the cloaking taking place on the actually domain.
I know it was obvious, but I need someone to say it.
There is one case though, where I found that this method was used how effectively, well, I've searched for them on a couple of engines but found nothing. Perhaps they have a bogus testimonial which surprises no one. These are the results I go from ALL THE WEB after searching under the URL.
[ussc.alltheweb.com...]
Now most of these are redirects. How exactly I dont know, but I would imagine that they would be cloaking.
If they are cloaking, and I don't believe they are, then they are serving up some pretty unattractive pages :-) It looks to me like they have just set up a bunch of third level domains, used frames on some pages and just plain made big text with their name in it. But their link popularity is pretty much non-existant. Do they rank well for any useful keywords in that category?
I am still a bit confused:
The script must use the same URL no matter which visitor (spider or person) it is serving to for each given page. This is very important, link pop cannot be achieved if the URL is
different per engine for the same page. Whew, hope that makes sense.
Whow, hmmmm . . .
All browser visible pages (for all SE's) are in one folder.
All SE-visible pages are in different folders (for each SE one).
Now, do you mean that the IP-visible pages must be located in a folder from the same url? (hmmm, al my SE-visibles are in my cgi-bin)
Or do you mean that all browser visible pages must use the same url for each SE?
For example, suppose the script you use has a directory for each engine you will cloak for. So that pages for AV are in one directory, pages for Ink are in another, pages for
human visitors in yet another, and so on ... treat each of those directories as a sub site with links and all.
This means cross linking the pages in the browser visible folder, right?
I am Cloaking "one-to one", but when using [u]one[/u] browser visible folder, I can't cope with giving each browser visible page the same size as the SE-visible page. How should I
manage that?
Thanks in advance!

I mean that each browser visible page must use the same URL for each SE. This way any links to your visible pages also count towards your cloaked pages. And as a spider follows links on your cloaked pages it can weave in and out of cloaked pages if need be, i.e. some of the pages are cloaked and others are not, maintaining link integrity throughout.

This is only important from a thwarting the snoopers point of view, the SE don't do anything with this. The way to handle it is to simply make the pages around the same size, the engines don't report the exact size. But I would not sacrifice well ranking pages in order to match page sizes.
It is not an absolute that if page sizes don't match you must be cloaking, especially with the SE's indexing schedules these days, it would take many months of tracking to determine it was not simply an updated page between indexing.
Tx again :-)
I need to use a cloaked domain external to the target domain, for various reasons.
Could someone who has experience with this approach mind explaining how can I get link pop happening on the cloaked domain?
Brett, Air or anyone, if you can find any holes in this please let me know. thanks much
You have to build it yourself. Be careful not to string too many sites together from the same class C.
This different octlet approach, can you do that from one ISP? i.e can you host multiple, different IPs for the purpose you describe and still be effective or would I need to create these sites at different ISPs?
Absolutely! (Sorry Littleman, couldn't resist.)
Generally, unless you are with a huge ISP that has many ranges of IP's (multiple class C's) then you'll probably want multiple ISP's. Note that it isn't enough to just have different IP's, the starting octets should differ as well, not just the ending octet.
Of course littleman's caveat on linking just your domains together still stands, even with substantively different IP's.
