What the heck is this?????

That's the kind of page cloaking software creates and it's a great way to get banned on Google.

Lately every time I search for a mainstream term in Google the first 200 results are mostly bogus domains with a .cn TLD. I use Firefox so don't see the warnings but am told most of these sites will load some JS virus and redirect you to a PPC SE.

They have got MAJOR keyword placement for thousands and thousands of domains, and most seem to have 2/3 sites per server and they appear to have thousands of servers.

regardless of what others say it is NOT a cloaking page or something cloaking software creates

if it were cloaking software creating that you would never see that page, you would see a real site, what you are seeing there is what google/yahoo would see if it were cloaked

that is created using a doorway page generator, which is a totally old school method of putting up thousands of pages quick and getting keyword results to other "real" sites

here is a pretty cool app for doing it - http://www.doorway-wizard.com/ - but like I said it is a pretty old school method and doesn't work that well anymore, google is pretty quick to knock you down for it, and while the software I linked does do "cloaked" pages, they are not true cloaked pages

what you see in the link you posted is a "doorway page"
