I would like to know if any one is using cloaking for their site or prehaps for their clients.

Also does anyone recommend any programs or scripts to do this?

I am thinking of using the cloak script from http://www.goodlookingcooking.co.uk but I am not sure if it blocks the cached version of the site on google, this is quite important to me.

Not looking to fake anything or put false info up, just would like to enhance my site. I find optimized pages to read terribly.

"Web design in blah blah, created by our Blahianweb designers in blah using nothing but the best in blah web design technology and nothing but the best web designers in blah. For our blah clients in blah."

Not exactly what I want my blah clients to see on my site.

Little Help?

But... and if you're convinced you want to do this, it's none of my business... you'll be violating Google's rules (and those of most other search engines) and will risk getting penalized. Especially if you're in a competitive area it's essential that cloaking is invisible both to search engines and to human visitors -- because most cloaking that is caught is probably caught because it's been reported by a competitor. Best bet would be not to use it on your main domain, at least until you really know what you're doing."Web design in blah blah, created by our Blahianweb designers in blah using nothing but the best in blah web design technology and nothing but the best web designers in blah. For our blah clients in blah." Yeah, that's a good example of an optimized site... or would be if it had been written two years ago. :) Today, it's not even worth writing in that heavy keyword repitition; other elements will have so much more weight.
