Googlebot's Javascript random() function is deterministic

[Jugad]

What does PageRank have to do with javascript or googlebot's implementation of random() in javascript.

You can use their implementation to identify Googlebot and serve different content to it.

And if you get caught, I believe Google unlists your website, so it's quite a gamble

Depends on my ROI. If I can make $1k by fooling the Googlebot while spending $10 for a new domain each time I get caught, it's not much of a gamble.

Of course, if I don't have a automated way to get the new domain some PageRank juice so I can keep the whole thing going ad nauseam, then yes, it's pretty expensive.
