While cloaking is alway spam, IP delivery is not. Sites like Amazon analyze the IP address of the computer looking up the page and display their page in the native language of the user (for example, if I searched for Amazon.com from Russia, the same website that is in English in America would show up in Russian, due to Amazon’s IP delivery system). This profiling of users is beneficial for the website as well as the user, and improves amazon’s reputation. IP delivery is a legal and honest way from websites to improve on their search engine optimization.

@Doug, unfortunately, the fact that it was discussed doesn’t mean there is only one definitive answer :)

“the practice of presenting different content or URLs to users and search engines” can be interpreted in numerous ways.

Using frames that are small could get you into a whole different type of trouble. If you look at the case that ebay currently has with DP forum you’ll understand why

Question is why would anyone doing ethical niche marketing want to put frames on their pages that are too small to display?

Does google penalise you for accidentally having hidden content? e.g. frames too small for content or images over text etc.?

You are absolutely right Utah SEO.

For those of us who are trying to build a long term business online it certainly is not worth it.

But these guys that do this cloaking thing are blackhatters. They are only looking to make a quick buck and get out

I think that anytime you are showing a different version to search engines and people you are putting your website at risk and it is not worth it.

I may have completely missed the point of your post
I thought cloaking refere to the practice of presenting one form of your webpage to human vsitors and a different form to the search engine bots for the sole purpose of DECEIVING the bots into giving the page a higher ranking than it deserves

That is unethical and used mainly by black hat SEOS.

The use of I frames and CSS is not unethical practice, it is totally different from cloaking
