About Cloaking
   
Fast free analysis of any web page.
 
If you are analyzing
a frames based page, only the page containing the frameset tags is parsed. Since most search engines do the same, the results are accurate.

Cloaking, or "stealth scripts", make use of software to serve one page to surfers and a different page to search engines. More sophisticated scripts will even serve a different page to each search engine, allowing you to precisely customize a page for that specific engine. There is also a secondary reason for cloaking your pages and that is to protect your highly optimized page from code thieves. All a thief can steal is your surfer page.

Search engines once threatened to ban cloaked sites. However, most engines have reluctantly admitted that they will not take any action unless your surfer page is on a different subject than the search engine page. It is imperative that your search engine pages represent your surfer pages fairly and accurately. If you get caught using keywords and phrases that are not related to your actual content, you will get banned.

Cloaking affects the keyword density analyzer when you are trying to compare your page with a page that is cloaked. Since the Keyword Density Analyzer is treated as a surfer by the cloak software, we see the surfer page, not the search engine page, so we can not determine the keyword density of the page that was indexed.

If you are using cloaking software and you want to analyze the keyword density of the pages that will be served to the search engines, you must create a separate directory that the Keyword Density Analyzer can reach. After you have verified the density and depth of those pages, you can return them to whatever hidden directory the cloaking software requires.

There is no sure way to know if a page published by someone else is cloaked. Some hints include if the title/meta are different from the listing on the search engine. Also, Netscape allows you to see the file creation date. If there are differences, and the file creation date is before the index date, then you can be reasonably sure the page is cloaked. Unfortunately, the opposite means nothing at all.
