fantomas shadowSniper™

Our prime stealthing (also termed IP Delivery or Cloaking) tool offers you usage of an unlimited number of gateway, stealth or phantom pages for truly top notch search engine positioning and page code protection.

The Problem

In an ever more competitive internet environment top search engine rankings are increasingly gaining in importance. As a stand alone marketing instrument, they have long surpassed banner ads and bulk email in efficiency — a trend that is hardly likely to change in the foreseeable future, quite the contrary in fact.

However, web positioning is also exactly that sector where competition is fiercest!

As a serious webmaster or an internet entrepreneur you can't really afford not to opt for the very best web positioning option available. Which undoubtedly is “stealth technology” or the art of feeding search bots pages specifically optimized for their indexing algorithms while directing your real web site visitors to content more amenable to human consumption.

Still, some sharks out there offering stealth software would gleefully rip you off for literally thousands of dollars. Now while you might gladly wish to pay a fair price for a fair product, you weren't quite expecting to actually having to buy out those mega important search engines, were you?

Not that people aren't trying: paid-for links positioning, popularity ratings based on direct hits technology, keyword auctions — all these are clearly favoring those mega corporations that can afford doling out hundreds of thousands if not millions of dollars for a good ranking with a couple of major search engines.

Ah yes, what's worse: let's not forget that it's not as if there were only a handful of search engines around — there are literally hundreds, plus a shockfull of catalogs, directories etc., all of which demand costly tackling of their own.

And if it's not downright buying positions by key word acquisition or rental, those big boys have plenty of moolah to spend on highly specialized personnel as in “one web positioning expert per engine”.

So, finally, enter the fantomas shadowSniper™ — the truly affordable killer application!

The Solution

This is the mainstay of our state of the art stealth (alt. “cloaking”, “food”, “phantom”) technology Products Palette. It is no exaggeration to state that in tandem with our fantomas keyMixer™ this gives you all the stealth you'll ever need!

Here's the meat:

Fourteen strong reasons why you should use fantomas shadowSniper™

  1. recognizes search bots (spiders) via a reference file in txt format. File can be updated and edited online and off anytime by user
  2. serves “stealth” or “phantom” pages to spiders — these are pages optimized for engines; alternatively, human visitors are served those pages specified by user
  3. lists all hits (robots and human) in proprietary log file — very easy to follow in text area window of user control interface; includes search words and phrases as entered by visitors in search engines — VERY IMPORTANT for continuous optimization of your web site!
  4. allows usage of unlimited number of keywords; you will copy one Keyword Switch file per keyword (looks like any ordinary web page but in reality it is a ready made CGI script) wherein is laid out which particular page your human visitors will be shown for that specific keyword; plus another file containing the optimized phantom page for the search engines to index — this allows for unlimited flexibility
  5. lists the following data in separate text area windows when activated:
    1. hits statistics
    2. all currently registered search engine spiders (a comprehensive list of all currently known spiders is included in our package)
    3. all phantom pages contained in their own directory in the form of complete URLs
  6. remains invisible to the search engines and will work as an unrecognized background process: no transparent redirection tag in the HTML header, no amateurish JavaScript redirect frizz, both of which may crash your visitors' browsers and can lead to refusal of indexing or even penalization by the search bots
  7. allows submission of absolutely innocuous HTM pages; hence, no mandatory restriction to your cgi-bin directory, allowing for straightforward search engine submission without any recognizable peculiarities
  8. not limited to any predefined set of search engines
    • need international submissions? No problem!
    • Want to cater to the smaller engines too, not restricting yourself to the major players with their fiercely competitive environment?
    • After all, every hit lost could be a customer lost?
    • Easy: simply list the engines you require
  9. even works with search engines that will accept only primary domains, i.e. no subdirectories: simply customize the path parameter in your Keyword Switch — that's it!
  10. based on what is probably the world's most comprehensive list of search bots: fantomas spiderSpy™ with addresses both in:
      1. unresolved (e.g. 111.222.333.44)
      2. resolved format (e.g. spider1.searchbot.com)
    1. meaning that you will be independent from your web server's specific configuration (many servers refuse to resolve IPs in order to save on bandwidth and storage space)
    2. Plus, 12 months sub now included!
  11. does not rely on dubious, easy-to-circumvent User Agent identification to recognize search bots
  12. is password protected to restrict usage to authorized persons only; however, will accept blank (nul) passwords too, if installed accordingly. (Not recommended except as a temporary time saving solution during check up.)
  13. now comes with FREE INSTALLATION
  14. now comes with unlimited email support
