Got an SEO + PHP coding question for you guys I’m thinking about for some time now.

If I’m using http referrer command on a page, based on an entrance keyword to a page, the http referrer will place different content on the page (not replacing the whole page, but just big part of it).

Command line is:
@$HTTP_REFERER

My questions are:

1. Can this be considered as cloaking or blackhat technique? This will be implemented on strictly white hat sites.

2. Can the new content be indexed by search engines – mainly big G (my thoughts are no, since its referrer based on keywords, and bots visit as user agents).

Any thoughts and ideas are welcomed,

Thanks

Not if it relies on a referrer.

AND the referrer is NOT a required field in HTTP so may not passed by the useragent.
