Google and friends > don't like being tricked (cloaking IIRC in SEO world == bad points). *sigh* what i've been forced to do is to put comments in the HTML which say, to the effect of "google etc, you are morons for not coming up with a decent solution to AJAX, so we are forced to deploy these tricks". if the site actually gets reviewed by a human the gist is that they should understand what the hell is going on. but, this is a free software project: it's not being designed to steal money from google in the name of profit-maximisation, so all in all using such tricks - because they're simple and effective - is ok. l.
