What is the difference between Doorway Pages and Cloaking?
If you’re a newbie starting BH SEO, you must have heard about blackhat techniques like Doorway Pages and Cloaking, but do you exactly know what’s the difference between them and what are their uses?? If you don’t keep reading…
A Doorway page is a keyword stuffed page which after a few minutes redirects to another page ie the actual page the webmaster wants to show. This page is generally a Affiliate page or an CPA offer. So using doorway pages, BOTH Google and human see the same page (atleast for the first few seconds till the meta redirect occurs).
Whereas Cloaking is a situation when search engines like Google and Yahoo see the dooway page ie the keyword optimized page whereas the visitors see a totally different page, which again is generally an Affilite or an CPA offer.
Some softwares used to perform Cloaking are:
* Kloakit
* Fantomas
* Search Engine Cloaker
* Phantom Cloaker
* CloakingMaster
* John Heard’s Food Script
Some WordPress Cloaking Scripts are:
* WordPress Cloaker
* WP Cloaker
* MonsterClicks Cloaker
Note: Cloaking and Doorways pages both are really blackhat techniques which can cause your site to get deindexed from Google if done wrongly
