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

How would you do this?

Add a redirect in the META tags would work, I guess.

When i use firefox with "user agent switcher" the only user agent that will bring up the cloaked page is summit..Every other user agent brings up the regular page.

Hm, can you tell me how to do this, I'll try for myself.

Because it doesn't make much sense, the script will cloak the page if he finds the string (for instance) googlebot in the HTTP_USER_AGENT variable, and if it cloaks when it finds summit but doesnt when it finds googlebot, theres something wrong.

I dont know the rules for posting links here so just do a google search for firefox user agent switcher .Use firefox or mozilla to open it and it should install it as a add on.Then you just go to tools/user agent switcher/options and ennter the info there.

I just tested and found the problem. Something very easy, just didn't pay attention. There was a space that ruined everything

Here's the fix:

in the vBCloaker_CheckUserAgent() function (file is functions.php)

take this line

PHP Code:
if (substr_count(strtolower($_SERVER["HTTP_USER_AGENT"]),strtolower($spideragents[$i])) > 0// Spiderbot 
and replace it by

PHP Code:
if (substr_count(trim($spideragents[$i]),$_SERVER["HTTP_USER_AGENT"]) > 0// Spiderbot 
Added trim() to get rid of the spaces

Edit: Sec, going to reupload, thanks for pointing that out, stroke25
Edit2: There seems to be something else wrong, give me 5 minutes
Edit3: Got it, now it's perfect, I'll reupload. (re-edited this post with changes)
