cloaking is a seo technique in which the content presented to the search engine spider is different from that presented to the user's browser.

Cloaking is where you cloak your links so that people won't be aware that the link they're clicking on is an affiliate link rather than a regular link.

In simple language it's a deceptive method used to cheat search engines in order to rank well for desired keywords. In other words, the management of the site that would see different content or information that Google or other search engine bot robot reading the site.

I would say cloaking should not be used as a SEO techniques, as google is discounting these kind of techniques and is considered as black hat techniques.

Also known as stealth, a technique used by some Web sites to deliver one page to a search engine for indexing while serving an entirely different page to everyone else. There are opposing views as to whether or not cloaking is ethical. Opponents see it as a bait-and-switch, where a Web server is scripted to look out for search engines that are spidering in order to create an index of search results. The search engine thinks it is selecting a prime match to its request based on the meta tags that the site administrator has input. However, the search result is misleading because the meta tags do not correspond to what actually exists on the page. Some search engines, such as Lycos, Hotbot and Excite, even ban cloaked Web sites. Proponents of cloaking assert that cloaking is necessary in order to protect the meta data, as only the spider is supplied with the meta tags.
