rastakid writes "We've seen various methods to fool Google in its indexing to achieve a higher ranking, like mass-linking to a certain website. But today I came across this thread in a Dutch forum (Voelspriet.nl) which shows a new method being used: cloaked pages. The idea is simple: use populair keywords to find populair pages, mirror these pages and let the Googlebots find them. By using tricks like .htaccess, it's possible to let the Googlebots see the mirrored (populair) pages, while the 'real' visitors are send to the actual website."
