Cloaking Detection?

Posted by Cliff on from the use-your-cloaking-device-hahaha!-I-didn't-think-so dept.

drcrja asks: "I am conducting some academic research on the use of cloaking and how it affects search engine rankings (cloaking is the practice of delivering a specially optimized page to search engine spiders while delivering a completely different page to the user). I am currently using Alta Vista's Babel Fish to retrieve pages and compare those pages to the pages on the actual web sites but I am trying to find other methods of detecting cloaking. I am wondering if any members of the /. community have any experience with this?"

    They should have a .5 phase shift with regards to the matter/antimatter emissions of your own spacecraft. The phase of this space-time continuum can be considered 0, so valid search parameters for the detection scheme are between +.5 and -.5 alpha.

  2. Marv Albert, sportscaster, dead at 54 by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    I just heard some sad news on talk radio - NBC Sports anchor and convicted cross-dresser Marv Albert was found dead in his Maine home this morning. There weren't any more details. I'm sure everyone in the Slashdot community will miss him - even if you didn't enjoy his work, there's no denying his contributions to popular culture. Truly an American icon. He will be missed :(

      Marv Albert is not dead you asshole (That wasn't even funny). But I was looking for that story anyways and found that he was in a serious car accident yesterday. Read here.

      Oh and by the way Marv Albert is 60 years old.

      Sorry I know off-topic but I had to clear things up.
