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

Ok guys don't you realize that you can get banned from google for cloaking. This is an SEO NO-NO

I agree most people should not use this..Im just playing with it on a site that im not worried about..

how about if we just take out google in the spider list?

I know google and yahoo got their policies on this, however MSN Web Search doesn't. You can get top ranked easily with a cloaker on MSN.

I am getting that error, I saw it mentioned before in this thread but the advice to fix it didnt make sense to me.

cerb can you make it so that it ignores certain spiders? i want the spiders to still show up in the who's online list.

how do you know if it is working?

Post 12 and 16 explain what needs to be done to fix it.

Is there a way to use this honestly? For an example... I run a fly fishing website. by placing keywords such as 'fly rod' or 'how to fly fish'... stuff like that, wouldn't really hurt anyone...

My other questions are the following

What's the difference between 'Title words', 'Fillers', and Targets?

They all appear to do the same exact thing.

well, not included in cloaker (i will probably consider this for v0.2)

I just wrote something for you though:

in file functions.php, your vBCloaker_CheckUserAgent function..

find

PHP Code:

$spideragents = explode("\n",$spideragents['defaultvalue']); 


add after

PHP Code:

    $dontcloak = array("googlebot","slurp");

        for ($x=0;$x < sizeof($dontcloak);$x++)
        {
            if ( substr_count(trim($dontcloak[$x]),$_SERVER["HTTP_USER_AGENT"]) > 0) 
            {
                return false;
            }
        } 


now notice the line $dontcloak = array("googlebot","slurp");

googlebot is google's web crawler and slurp is yahoo's

you can add more, for instance: $dontcloak = array("googlebot","slurp","lycos");



You can include parts of the user agent also, for instance you could just put google instead of googlebot.





#37, read my post on the first two pages about SummitMedia spider simulator

#39: Targets are words that will link to other pages.
Titles are words that will be embraced with <h3> HTML tags
Fillers are remaining words that will fill the page
