Cloaking is the technique of hiding main content from the search engine spiders with an intent of boosting your website ranking. In cloaking, you present different content to the user to that of search engine. Content which is presented to the search engine is highly optimized for certain keywords... This content may contain stuffed keywords and backlinks.

It�s a black hat technique and your website might get penalized for it.

Cloaking refers to the practice of presenting different content or URLs to users and search engines. Cloaking can be done in very small scale, such as adding text and keywords that will improve SEO but shouldn't be displayed to human visitors.

Briefly, cloaking is the process of providing the search engine with one set of web coding (usually highly optimized) while the Internet visitor receives a friendlier, more appealing web page...
