maybe getting paranoid, but also thinking logically that doing some cloaking of things to hide the actual scripts you are using from google's eyes might be a smart thing to do..... I realize that there are legal issues about doing so with many tos and scripts, but realistically it can only do no good to have google categorizing your site based on the script you are using.... the ideal situation is for google to see your site as completely static html pages I would think

so is anyone modifying the source of the scripts they are using to take out backlinks and copyright notices and other telltale signs of the particular script you are using

I know for a few years now I have suspected that google's algorithm has subtle adjustments based on whether they think you are a forum or a blog or a static site etc, and sometimes I have thought that it would be better for seo if google wasn't specifically lumping my site into a broad category on occasion


* note- before any script owners get all angry, I am not saying I do this kind of editing or suggesting anyone else do it, but I think the subject is a valid one for discussion so just bringing it up in hopes of seeing some discussion
