Any initial thoughts on the most optimum way to achieve this considering the reporcussions on SEO etc?

Keep in mind the search engine bot will be visiting your site as a ‘logged-out’ site visitor, so it won’t see any of the content you display to logged in users only.

ob_start();
eval("?".">".$html);
$html=ob_get_contents();…[Read more]
