I have strong doubts that your "Search-Engine-Friendly" feature can actually work in practice, at least for Google.
Google can't possibly compare your generated "crawlable" content to the actual content the user sees because of Javascript, therefore it can't detect whether the cloaking you're doing is ethical or not and it must assume the worst. What would prevent someone unethical to do exactly the same thing as you do except have the javascript display malicious content?
Second, you can't reliably detect search engines. Google is known to crawl pages with undetectable user-agents (ex: a regular-looking firefox user-agent) to make sure the content seen by Googlebot is the same as that seen by regular users. You can't just sniff crawlers reliably by their user-agent.
Sorry but I don't think this can possibly work in practice.
- asnyder 17y agoI understand your doubts but as you see we explain it thoroughly here http://dev.noloh.com/#/articles/Search-Engine-Friendly/ http://dev.noloh.com/#/articles/Search-Engine-Friendly/. It does work, we've had this feature since 2008 and have numerous sites and users using it. If you Google for NOLOH you'll see that we show up with our content and links. Nothing is stopping someone from doing this within their own platform maliciously and then Google will act accordingly but NOLOH as a platform doesn't allow you to and doesn't violate any rules.
