A piece of software, such as a browser or spider, that interprets the content on a web server and presents it to the user as a web page. Examples include Internet Explorer, Opera, Netscape and various search engine spiders.
Examples: MS Internet Explorer, Netscape Navigator, Googlebot, Slurp, T-Rex
The act of presenting one set of content to search engine spiders based on the name of that spider and another set of content to human web users. This is done to present content that has been specifically optimized to rank well at each search engine while still presenting the same content to each human visitor to the web site.
This technology is easily detected as web surfers are able to use an agent name faking program to appear as if they are the named spider and view the cloaked content.
