[...] Jaime from SEOegghead just emailed me with a post where he wrote a simple PHP cloaking script. It uses the IP lists from Iplists.com (which is used by Kloakit and other pay per use tools). It’s a pretty good demonstration script. I’ve actually chatted with Dan from IPLists before about his stuff, and I have some really good data that I’ll probably be sharing with the world in the not too distant future regarding spider mapping.

Indeed a very interesting implementation, of the dark cloak.
Im still canning myself over the "Halt human! Open your wallet. Punch." Legendary :-)!!, must be one of those assasins.
[...] Ideally, you would use some sort of load-balancing appliance to obscure the fact that there are multiple servers. I know Cisco makes a few of them. However, I also see no harm in using cloaking to detect Google and make sure it stays at the primary site — don't redirect it! If it does start to crawl a mirror, for whatever reason, redirect it back to www.example.com. This could be achieved easily using a cloaking library that detects if the user-agent is a spider. It would then redirect it to the same URL on www.example.com. [...]
Search engine optimization is not only the job of a marketing staff. It must be considered from a web site's inception and throughout its lifetime by the web site developer. Professional Search Engine Optimization with PHP provides developers with the information they need to create and maintain a search engine friendly web site, and avoid common pitfalls that confuse search engine spiders. The book discusses in depth how to to facilitate site spidering, and discusses the various technologies and services that can be leveraged for site promotion.
