Thanks for this post. I’m sure they would give a very good reason for doing this and they would have a different term for it other than "cloaking", they’re part of Google and they can get away with murder as far as I can tell. It’s not do as I do, it’s do as I say and as long as they’re the top dog no level of critiscism is going to change that.
"Cloaking" goes on a lot of the time...just take a sample of stories from Google News...spiders are being shown different things from humans. Ads can be shown or the content can only be read once a visitor has registered with the site.
*sigh* I was hoping for a official response on this one. Double standards are ridiculously unfair, and I suspect will someday get Google in trouble. Fighting engrained competition is hard enough, but doing that with Google giving unfair consideration to these other companies (there’s SO many double standards like this) it seems ridiculous.
