Typically on a page usually at the button of the content some would include ever city or state where they wanted to target. So for instance if I wanted to make my post appear to be relevant to users of your city, they would just add your city to the list at the bottom.
They would not have any other content about your city only the name. Therefore it doesn't add value, it was a trick to get the page rated for their service or product.
Thanks for sharing. It's always good put reminders out that content should be original and add value. Cheers
and recently they added any site known to promote fake news or fake titles to grab viewers. There was a report about a huge crackdown on these sites also.

Thanks very interesting. What is cloaking ?
Cloaking refers to the technique of presenting different content or URLs to human users and search engines. Cloaking is considered a violation of Google’s Webmaster Guidelines because it provides our users with different results than they expected.
Thanks for taking the time. I have so much to learn LOL
