Is this site using cloaking?
Hello

I was just having a look at a website that i found very interesting.

Canyone shed some light on whether or not they are using cloaking or something else ?

I can clearly see that the google cache is different to the actual page

keyword: ferrari rental sydney
website position: 1
search url: http://www.google.com.au/search?sourceid=mozclient&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&q=ferrari+rental+sydney

you can clearly see that the actual link to this page is differnt than the cache

any clues? Has anyone else come across this?

The big list of cars that all end with "in Sydney", and the bulleted list at the bottom, combined with awkward grouping of keywords in the cached version certainly make it appear as if the site is using cloaking.

Using the user-agent switcher to switch to the googlebot (new "mozilla" bot) or slurp ua string, I can see no difference at first glance. So: EITHER this is not a classic cloaking case (one version user-oriented, the other version spammy and plain) OR the method of cloaking is much more advanced than simple user-agent string analysis. Could be IP-based ("IP delivery"). In that case: congrats to them, very cunning....

Hmmm indeed it is - I would like to know how this is being achieved. The site has a large number of indexed pages. It has great serp results and has huge backward links

Does anybody else know how this is done? They are surely getting away with it and i dont think google minds?
