Good article from an unexpected source. :-) Avvo shows how a real estate company is cloaking so-called reciprocal links (that aren’t really reciprocal at all).

Great example of the importance of digging into "opportunities" especially when it comes to things like links, which so many people overemphasize as "most important" in the SEO process!

Update:  This was cookie based cloaking, not IP, as I originally thought.-Conrad

Caught onto this three months ago. I have a policy on not talking about negative stuff anymore so never mentioned it. But man, cookie based cloaking. I wonder how many more sites they do this for. Matt Cutts to the rescue.

Wow that’s pretty damn evil.  I’m glad you caught on to it.  You’re nose was right on.  It did seem fishy from the start.
