Is this cloaking / can cause me problems?

My partner said that he bought the name (fictitious) coolname.com and he then coded it to my site (fictitious) mysite.com/blog and it would not cause me problems.
Is this true?
I can now type in "coolname.com" and go to mysite.com/blog and the metadata is displayed as well.

He said he used:
Frame redirect


Is this cloaking?

I have been getting great placement and don't want to loose that.

thanks


do you know if there are other drawbacks -- like the type of issues that arise when using a regular framed site?

Exactly the same ones. Because it IS a regular framed site.

All frame forwarding does is create a frameset with 0 pixel high top frame and put the target site in the bottom frame.

i guess its hard for me to understand exactly


so it would be a framed site -- if that name he added is used as the url but if my regular url is used its not a framed site---right?

Got it, thanks.


Is there a way to do the same thing but without 'penalties" or other lameness?

It doesn't BTW.
But what you are asking about there is redirection.
Cloaking is showing search engine user agents or IPs different content to any other user agent or IP.

Yep.
Set the "coolname" up to point directly to the "blog" subfolder.

Is this redirection? As far as I know, unnecessary redirection is considered as blackhat.
