•Content to bots is a quality landing page with the right keywords

How Cloaking is done How to check for
Approach 1: cloaking? Fetch a webpage  Take the hash of the page (a number) Pretend to be a google bot & hash that page 
Compare the 2 page’s . Are they the same? Why this is NOT a good idea:
Webpage’s are dynamic (have timestamps, advertisement’s ) so if you compare the CONTENT of the 2 page’s by hashing, it may differ.

What Google does NOT consider cloaking

Geolocation :
• Looking at the IP Address and modifying the webpage for the user’s ease of access is not cloaking
Like by identifying the country of the user from his IP
Address (for e.g. FRANCE) and translating the webpage into a

    The ideas of an unethical business practices to gain a statistical advantage is not a new idea. As a countries economy grows the population begins to see more unethical business practices. One such practice is skewing the research results. The way this is done is my taking the information that is given about a certain product or service and misrepresenting it to make it look like it is a great choice. This technique completely changes the research and twists it in the favor of the product without the consumer knowing what is going on. As economies begin to boom these practices are seen more often.…

    The Onion's MagnaSoles: Advertisement Analysis

    With products such as Shamwow, Oxyclean, and the Bowflex, flooding our modern-day market, it seems as though today’s advertisement challenges the intelligence of the American populace with a single daunting task, to force people to stop thinking rationally. Intelligence is measured upon a variety of elements all stemming from rational thought; The Onion satirizes the seemingly infinite quantity of irrational thought in the world today, in an ad for a new and improved, $19.95 (plus shipping and handling), solution to any person’s foot problems. “MagnaSoles” depicts the gullibility of people by showing their reliance on various modes of the media to obtain information. In this case, lustrous qualities lure the customer, while other solidifying details cause the commercial to ensnare the modern day consumer into a trap of successful conversions of your “pain nuclei” into “pleasing comfortrons”.…

    Marketing Warfare

    Marketing warfare strategies are a type of strategies, used in business and marketing, that try to draw parallels between business and warfare, and then apply the principles of military strategy to business situations, with competing firms considered as analogous to sides in a military conflict, and market share considered as analogous to the territory which is being fought over citation needed. It is argued that, in mature, low-growth markets, and when real GDP growth is negative or low, business operates as a zero-sum game. One person’s gain is possible only at another person’s expense. Success depends on battling competitors for market share and firm 's goal should be to identify and profitably satisfy customer needs.…

    Propaganda Technique

    Generally, we don’t like advertisements and tend to avoid them when we are watching TV, enjoy a music video on YouTube, or surfing on the Internet; but unfortunately, those advisements have affected really much on our decisions. Do you believe it? The truth is that we see over 200 ads a day following the Consumer Reports Website. Additionally, Tony Marlow, the director of strategic insights at Yahoo claimed that: “Ninety five percent of the decisions we make are made at an unconscious level.” As the result, we unconscious store a hundred of advertisements in our brains through the newspaper, TV commercials, magazines and Facebook. Consequently, those “memories” about the ads becomes our experiences and make us believe that we buy the right product at the right place. The marketer or advertiser has researched the consumer’s opinions, and based on those opinions, they create the advertisings with the propaganda techniques such as Name Calling, Glittering Generalities, Transfer, Testimonial, Plain Fork, Card Stacking and Band Wagon and other advertising techniques such as Sex Appeal, Ideal Family, Sounds Good and Repetition. There are a lot more techniques that they use to persuade the consumers, but in my opinion, the most three effective methods impact our decisions are Sex Appeal, Card Stacking, and Ideal Family.…

    Propaganda Techniques

    Glittering generalities was one of the seven main propaganda techniques identified by the Institute for Propaganda Analysis in 1938. It also occurs very often in politics and political propaganda. Glittering generalities are words that have different positive meaning for individual subjects, but are linked to highly valued concepts. When these words are used, they demand approval without thinking, simply because such an important concept is involved. For example, when a person is asked to do something in "defense of democracy" they are more likely to agree. The concept of democracy has a positive connotation to them because it is linked to a concept that they value. Words often used as glittering generalities are honor, glory, love of country, and especially in the United States, freedom. When coming across with glittering generalities, we should especially consider the merits of the idea itself when separated from specific words.…

    Viral Marketing

    Online viral campaigns require a seeding strategy that involves choosing the firstgeneration consumers to spread a viral message to. Building on social-capital theory and social-network analysis, this research examines key aspects of the seeding strategy by tracking the diffusion of 101 new videos published on YouTube. The results show that the need for a “big-seed” strategy (i.e., using many seed consumers) depends on message quality. Furthermore, one should choose consumers who have strong ties with the advertiser and who also have strong influence on others, rather than simply wider reach. Among seed consumers, they should share a moderate amount of interest overlap instead of being too homogeneous or heterogeneous as a group.…

    Strategy And The Internet

    In this article, the author (Michael E. Porter), explains his opinion on the use of the internet by organisations. He points out that both dot-coms and established companies have both, by way of competition, violated the core precept of strategy in businesses. Porter brings out the fact that companies focussed more on attracting more customers, via discounted channels, discounting and advertising, rather than having profit in their line of sight. He clearly explains that managers should use the internet to complement their current ways of competing, rather than making the internet a strategy in itself. The internet should be part of business activities, rather than being a standalone approach. Porter provides a distinctive perspective to the use of the Internet in business interactions, unlike several authors who have suggested that the internet leads to greater success.…

    Guerrilla Marketing

    Guerrilla Marketing

    The term guerrilla marketing was coined by Jay Conrad Levinson in 1984 (Levinson, 1984). It stands for a variety of low-cost, high-impact marketing techniques that allow small companies and/or individuals to act like big companies. Guerrilla marketing can be regarded as the ancestor of the other EM concepts. It is about the attempt to achieve wide-ranging results with an untypically low utilization of resources by acting like a guerrilla. It focuses on simplicity, and aims for the recipient to be riveted to the message, which stimulates a willingness to distribute it further (Ahuja et al., 2007). Guerrilla marketing actions are often only one-time, limited in scope, and seldom repeatable. A successful example of guerrilla marketing is a Vodafone emblem on a streaker’s naked body at an Australian football match, where the streaker was finally arrested amidst both public and media attention.…
