Question

Is Q2A required registration feature "Allow search engines to view question pages"counts as google CLOAKING that is not alowed by google ?

Answer 1

Is this a feature in Q2A? If so where, because I don't see it anywhere. Anyway, I am pretty sure that showing content to Google but not to users is a violation of their guidelines and is considered cloaking. I wouldn't risk it personally. Why hide content from users anyway, that's just annoying!

Ah, I found it under permissions, AFTER you save the option to block regular users from viewing questions.
