vBCloaker 0.1

This hack is a search engine cloaker, it will help you get ranked on search engines.



However, certain search engines have nice protection against cloakers and don't like em, like AlexanderT mentioned so well, so use this hack at your own risk.




I really hope you will appreciate it, this is my first real vBulletin hack ever. Also, I have a friend that won a VIP pass to E3, but he needs to buy a plane ticket which costs $600 and he doesn't have the money, so if you feel generous, a donation would be very nice.

Encouraging him is encouraging me.

Also, there is one thing that is VERY important. When you add words

(fillers,targets,links,titles), use enter to seperate each entry. If you want a bunch of words altogether, seperate the words you want grouped together with spaces.




Features you can expect to see in next release (if this project is appreciated):

- User settable "max words" from admin panel
- Random font color
- Spiderbot logs
- Add random HTML tags



Click install if you install please


UPDATE

There seems to be a bug with editing spider strings from the user CP (vbulletin bug), you will have to edit the database manually

Any idea whats wrong?

VBulletin Ver 3.6

Do you have access to phpMyAdmin?

If so, could you please check the "setting" table for your vB database? Look for varname 'spiderstrings' and tell me what is 'value'



EDIT: There should not be anything. It looks like a vBulletin bug, whenever you edit the spider strings, the 'value' field is reset. If you want cloaker to work, you should add the info yourself manually through phpMyAdmin, I'm going to tell jelsoft about that bug.

ok i checked and it shows nothing for the value.

EDIT: Great that fixed it..I just put value 10. What would be a good value to put there ??

Get caught (for instance by a competitor reporting to Google) and Google will ban you from its index.

That's pretty much my outlook on it. I like the idea since google is hardly accurate in indexing my board, but I'd rather not risk it. Thanks for the hard work though.

I agree that I wouldn't want to get reported and busted for this, at the same time something definitely isn't right with their ranking system. There are tons of little sites with nearly no related content that rank way higher than me and I feel pretty cheated by it. If I knew I could use this and get away with it I would have no problems doing it because it's pretty unfair as it stands.

what value should i put in for spiderstrings, if i'm trying to test with the summit simulator?

btw thanks for the hack
