Page Generators & Cloaking- SEO Trouble?
| by Conrad Sear | March 20, 2006
True SEO is making sure your website follows basic logical parameters. BE RELEVANT.
Tools that are questionable are Page generators & Cloaking software.
Page generators do just that, make web pages. Lot's of them. Early generators made lot's of the same pages just to have bulky websites. They had the same content over & over again. Generators today work much better. They have relevant content. Lot's of different content. Lot's & lot's of keywords. And they all point to your main page.
Page cloaking software makes webpages invisible to people but not to search engines. There are lot's keyword pages with very little content and are meant to trick the search engines into thinking you have more relevant webpages than you actually have.
Cloaking is frowned upon by search engines. If you read the fine print on Yahoo, etc. you'll find it's all there in black & white.
Page generators, however, walk a fine line. They can be used abusively or used as a time saver. An ethical SEO specialist will use this software to create RELEVANT, CONTENT RICH, web pages. A reasonable amount. Not thousands of irrelvant keyword pages just pointing to your main web site.
So, is there a difference. Yes. But, more importantly, there is is the difference in how the are used.
Be wise. Go for the long term, ethical success. Stick with the organic, logical, ethical, fair, & practical methods.
