Title Cloaking?

Will this get me banned from google?

[zorafex]

I have a php script that checks the useragent for googlebot. If the user agent is googlebot, it will display the following title:
My Site - $pagetitle ◄

$pagetitle is a dynamic variable I use on my pages, but is irrelevant.

If the user agent doesn't equal googlebot it shows this:
My Site - $pagetitle

Will adding the "◄" by being cloaked, get me banned from google? I've already contacted google and they said I could use ◄ in my title. However, only googlebot see's this in the title. Will they ban me for only showing it to googlebot? Also, how would they find out.. if its done server-side (php) and not client side (js)?

thanks

It COULD get you banned.

my understanding of cloaking is if you do any type of cloaking it will get you banned

Google will penalize you IF they discover you're cloaking, I'm uncertain if this penalty is as severe as a ban presently. If may depend on wheter your cloaked page is relevant or off topic.

Ink doesn't seem to mind relevant cloaking but dislikes off topic cloaking. For example, a cloaked page on a "mature topic" being listed in a search for DisneyWorld will get you banned. Promptly!
