However, if the cloaking site is linking to us, that is another issue. If we link to a cloaking site, my gut feeling is we will get penalised.

I noticed this issue a while back and thought I had deleted it all. I even had my host upgrade my WordPress installation at the time. I've since removed what I hope is the last of the cloaked links and asked Google for reinstatement. I appreciate the tips and the head's up from you and your reader Kyle. Thanks for this.

It could happen to anyone. I have a few blogs myself with outdated WP installations that I've been too busy to update. I'll be updating them today, but sometimes we play that game of chance where we know it needs to be done but hope nothing happens while we're trying to find the time to do it. In the meantime, let's all look out for each other and let the site owner know if you find anything. I have contacted Mr. Jones, and Mr. Selznick has already taken care of his site. ineedhits – you’re absolutely correct. It could happen to anyone.
