I've read the basic examples of what to do with cloaking: mostly language, geographical or browser redirects.

What kind of things shouldn't we do with cloaking? :)

The Biggie: don't cloak irrelevent content. If you have a porn site, don't cloak optimized HTML that is optimized for terms like "mickey mouse".

Next, don't rip off others' content and think you can use it just because you have cloaked it.

yeah, if you cloak for xyz, at least have info that is specific to xyz on the landing page.

dont cloak stolen content, someone just stole my content and showed it to the robots while redirecting surfers - he's gonna loose his domains (false whois), getting his server unplugged (copyright infringement) and the sponsors wont pay, either (copyright infringement). Additionally, I consider to claim my losses back which will be the hardest part of it.

that's what you shouldn't do when cloaking
