Cloaking good or evil? Does it depend on your site’s reputation as far as Google is concerned? Does Google Allow Cloaking When They Like the Site?
Now this is not just an esoteric question for us. The majority of our material is locked behind at least a free registration screen – and the very best behind a paid membership program. Now if Google are serious about indexing the deep web then our situation must be taken account of and some solution provided to at least expose the value of the non-paid for material. Sure, we can cloak for now (and probably get away with it) but this only a band-aid, and a germ ridden one at that.
I know Google have a premium content programme but it seems to have gone very quiet. Please Google, speak to us content owners that need to make a living from our material rather than rely on ads.
