Web Cloaking Web Cloaking uses HTML Framesets. These split a page into separate panes that obtain their contents from other web pages. These pages can be on the local or remote server. The framed page itself is hosted by the domain registry and it is normally possible to specify the page title and some keywords and a description.
The problem is that the amount of content that can be included in the Frameset is a long way from what we would want a search engine optimizer. Worse still, it is generic for the whole site. Some search engines won't understand the Frame element and won't index the real site content. Other search engines that do understand Frames will index the content, but at its real address. In addition users will not be able to bookmark pages and will have trouble deep linking to your website as the URL shown in the browser address bar will always be the homepage. Anyone serious about Search Engine Optimization will get proper web hosting. By all means forward other domains to this account but avoid this type of stealthy redirection. Web Cloaking |
