Your comment about Google considering this to be cloaking needs more verification. A URL can seem static to Googlebot but serve the dynamic URL to a user while still being the exact same page. Would this not be considered cloaking? If I remove a number of parameters or assign Googlebot to a specific userid in the URL but redirect or add the parameters to a non-bot user-agent, would this be seen as cloaking? Thanks for all the great responses so far. Matt,

I have a question about the unethical black hat tactic known as google bowling where people are destroying the reputation of my site by polluting googles search engines with spam sites and linking to me on these sites thus dragging my site down and causing it to loose ranking on the pages they are attacking. This has happened to me before and they have allready suceeded in wiping out one of my pages from the results, a week ago when there was a serps change i noticed hundreds more of these spam site have appeared and they are targeting another one of my page. Is there anything i can do to defend myself against this? The bad guys tactic IS working and as i said they have allready destroyed one of my pages and they are working on destroying another... I am continually reporting these sites as spam and when ever possible informing the hosting providers but theres to many sites and it feels like im fighting a battle i cant win. For a typical example of the googlebowlers spam sites i am reporting google search "fun/poker.htm site:.info" Is there anything else i can do to defend against this kind of unethical practice?

This would be a desperation move to try and solve an intractable problem with another search engine.

My site has not been crawled in about a month, despite numerous updates!! It's critical in my business to update frequently, otherwise, I fall in the rankings, due to enormous competition. I would also like to know, how a page rank can fall so drastically without any reason, and with same amount of traffic and links. I REFUSE to link farm, as I think that does not make a site more "important". I have been highly ranked in Google with the same site for over 4 years, now all of a sudden, I am not getting crawled, and am starting to fall due to the other NON-relevant sites spamming the keywords that ARE relevant to my site. Please answer this for me, as no one else at Google seem to give a rats A$$. Thank you!!!!! I’d like to know what is going on with Google?????
