All,

I would need a script that does a redirect of the visitor to another site, depending on which user agent is provided.

The background of it is that I want the google bot to see a different site than the one the users sees.

Regards,
Steve
 
Code:
<?php

$agent = $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'];

if (eregi("google", $agent))
{
    Header( "Location: " . "http://cloaked.com" );
} else {
    Header( "Location: " . "http://acaimonies.com" );
}

?>
 
Be careful with that... google routinely visits the site from another non google to catch cloakers... its an automatic forever ban.... also they routinely request a weird page like htkjajaljkjklfjfjfkjakjklfda.htm to see if you give them a page for that... if its not a 404 error auto ban.... they are doing everything to catch you..
 
Thanks to both of you for enlightening me.
Seems I should read a bit more on cloaking and what Google already does about it.

My thought was to rank a site based on Wordpress for a keyword, and redirect the traffic directly to a CPA offer once I'm ranking, yet still wanted Google to see and crawl my WP page.

Cheers,
Steve
