Well, this intiative is a but old now, I disabled nofollow more than a year ago. I did notice some increase but it wasn’t a huge one.

Have you seen increase in traffic since allowing dofollow?

Comment on Domain redirect wizardry with .htaccess rules by Guilherme Zühlke O'Connor

In this context, yes, but actually there is some terminology mistake on my side, there are different techniques with similar names, cloaking is most commonly used for a technique to fool search engines.

Anyway, terminology mistakes apart, I think you can do just well by simple make a redirect from domain A to B and let the domain change. If you do it properly, in a few days or weeks at most all your search engine traffic will be linking directly to the new domain.

Is cloaking the same as Frame Forwarding?

The reason I want to do that is because we have a listing directory installed on one server with Domain A but we prefer Domain B and want to use that instead.

@Rizwan - Well, you can do that combining different techniques. Redirects will take you to another page, period. But you can, for instance, use a frame to include the page form the other domain, which is known as cloaking.

Now, why would you want to do that?

Hi Guilherme,
I want to redirect Domain A to Domain B but I want the url to stay Domain A. So after the redirect users should still see http://www.DomainA/page.php and any link they click on they still see http://www.DomainA/contactus.php instead of reverting back to the old domain.

Does that make sense?

@Renato - That’s brilliant, the principle is the same, but I wouldn’t have expected a peephole would work that well.

To get the fisheye effect I use a door peephole and use the camera in macro mode (because the peephole brings the focal distance to a very small value).
The result is that:

Nice comparison on the Jamie Oliver show with a website. After all, you can’t make a great work of art while worrying on on the consequences, can you?

Another thing, you can always pay for somebody to do the dishes once you’re done cooking, the same way that you can pay for somebody’s services if there’s a certain part of website designing that you can’t or don’t want to do.

Great slides .. relly nice presentation but I guess the imperial measurements you’re having are a bit out perhaps just by a factor of 10 lolz
