Here's a quickie for ya. Say I wanted to redirect all my traffic from Cambodia off to some other random location. So i setup with a GeoIP database, yadda yadda, and next thing you know **poof** off goes all my Cambodian traffic to some other shit.
How will this action be viewed by the engines? When they are trying to combat cloaking in their SERPs, do they see what I am doing and let me be? Or am I facing possible penalties if I'm caught doing so? Is this considered a not allowed type of cloaking? Would I be alright listed in some international portals for the search engines, and punished on others?
I guess the question could be asked similarly of sites with a mobile and regular version of the site. If there are two version of the same index, displaying vaguely similar content, how is this looked upon? Does the spider not see the mobile version at all? Is there a mobile spider working separately that does recognize the redirect?
Say you're doing something like in the case of OneTapPorn or whatever, and you're bumping off all your mobile traffic to a completely different site altogether? Surely that's got to throw up some alarms as far as anti-cloaking detection is concerned?
What goes on in situations like these?
