How is it beneficial to SEO?

According to Google cloaking is "a website that returns altered webpages to search engines crawling the site." In other words, a human reading the site would see different content or information than the Googlebot or other search engine robot reading the site. Most of the time, cloaking is implemented in order to improve search engine ranking by misleading the search engine robot into thinking the content on the page is different than it really is.

Cloaking means the exercise of introducing different content or URLs to visitors and the search engines. Offering up different results based on user may cause your site to be recognized as inaccurate and eliminated from the Google list. It is bad technique and against to search engine guideline so it may penalize your website if you use the cloaking technique.

Cloaking generally means to present different version of web page contents from of search engines to search robots and human visitors based on their browser's user agent or IP address. Cloaking is the act of masking the name and address of the sender so that the recipient does not know who sent the e-mail.

Cloaking is the act of hiding text in the same colour as the page so no one and physically can read it but search engines can. It can get you a google penalty so best to avoid it.

Cloaking is a technique used to deliver the content on a Web page to a search engine in such a way that different content than what is delivered to a regular human user appears on the search engine.

Cloaking recognizes search engine spiders by their IP address. It returns web pages to search engine spiders that are different from the web pages that web surfers see.

Cloaking is a search engine optimization (SEO) technique in which the content presented to the search engine spider is different from that presented to the user's browser. This is done by delivering content based on the IP addresses or the User-Agent HTTP header of the user requesting the page.
