is this black hat?

When a user clicks on a keyword and pass the keyword in a variable in the url so the new page replaces all words with the keyword eg user clicks on Pink Telephone, a new page opens...

Our website specialise in <?echo $keyword; ?>'s. We stock a large number of <?echo $keyword;?> etc

I think it would be more of a trick for users, however I don't actually think it is a good thing to do as you are going to have a lot of repeat content which google won't like.

i think google don't like it . everyone don't like it.

1, the site homepage and subordinate pages to make the link so that search engines can link to the universality of the major subordinate pass
Page
2, the source link written text, so that each link in the page are subject consistency
3, from higher PR website link
4, one-way incoming links than the link to get the help of two-way exchange of large
5, site requires registration to the important navigation catalog stations, such as: Yahoo Directory and Open Directory Project
6, do not participate in the so-called Alliance website link, otherwise, the search engine once punished those sites, their
Web site will also suffer
7, do not use more than one-stop means to be self-domain links, search engines do not like the way that this is
Kind of index flood approach

it is fair enough, although technically it could be called cloaking, google will not pick it up as google doesn't use a KW to arrive at the site.

On to the issues. what happens if thereis no referrer? How are you handling your seo with dynamic content being used?

[edmondscommerce]

its a reasonable idea and isn't black hat IMO

cloaking is serving one set of content for search engines and another for users. This technique woudl serve the same content to anything that visited the page with the correct info in the URL.

one thing you can do easily is use base64 encoding to at least obfuscate what you are doing



<a href="?r=<?php echo base64_encode('my key phrase');?>">link</a>


and on your content page:

$keyword = base64_decode($_GET['r']);


even better, use mod_rewrite so that the pages really do appear to be unique pages.

I've played with this kind of idea myself and still do get some long tail traffic from it, in general though it wasn't really successful so I abandoned it.
