[Plugin: Are PayPal] What?

    Gogglebot can index hidden content so users can search for a hidden content but can not see it. Other search engines will see only visible content

    What?

    Excuse me, but what would then prevent an user of the blog to look at the cached version of the page, presumably displaying the so-called “hidden content”?

    Hidden content will not be cached on google as google is instructed not to cache it by adding a meta tag … Script inside plugin can detect google bot and expose it with hidden content.

    Okay but then what’s to stop someone from spoofing the user agent of the google bot and getting to the content anyway. It’s most likely a very remote possibility but could it happen? I’ve never used the plugin before but just a though.

    Ok, so what you are saying is:

    – Plugin makes content available if User == Googlebot
    – Hidden content can be found on Google
    – Hidden content will NOT be visible when looking at the cached version of the page

    Sorry, but what kind of meta-tag is that supposed to be?

    meta tag is <META NAME=”ROBOTS” CONTENT=”NOARCHIVE”/> and google will not cache the content at all. It will only create content index so that it would be possible to find post by keywords in a hidden parts.

    Script to detect googlebot is here:
