Cloacking Technique Used by Hackers

-

Cloaking refers to the practice of presenting different content to human users and search engines. In my recent experience, our site was hacked, and the hacker used cloaking to make the hack harder to detect.

Traffic control service to users

During the discussion I said, the paginated pages should be indexed . After my discussion, I deep dive on the topic and analysed the paginated pros and cons. The SCG blog posts duplicate meta tags issues is technical problem, it is occurred because paginated pages were indexable.

In my initial exploration of Python technology, I encountered a pivotal challenge: managing a website with over a million pages. Manual checks of the index status for hundreds of URLs were time-consuming, compounded by Google Search Console's daily quota limits.
