Forget the debate about cloaking, I am a bit tired of that anyway. How does one detect some of the cloaking going on around the Web. Follow these instructions:

(1) Download the Firefox Browser
(2) Install it
(3) Download the User Agent Switcher for Firefox/Mozilla while using firefox
(4) Restart the browser
(5) Under Tools --> User Agent Switcher --> Options --> Options (that will open a dialog box)
(6) Click Add Under User Agents section
(7) In the description add "Googlebot" and in the user agent add "Googlebot/2.1 (+http://www.googlebot.com/bot.html)"
(8) Repeat this process for all the spiders you want to test. Updated comprehensive list of user agents.
(9) Under Tools --> User Agent Switcher --> select the user agent
(10) Then navigate to the pages that you want to test for cloaking.

Hope this helps some people be Googlebot. :)
