What is cloaking?

Hi friends,
Cloaking is a search engine optimization 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.

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. The goal of cloaking is to boost a website's search engine rank on certain keywords.

In cloaking, the search engine and the user are literally not on the same page. Therefore, both the user and the search engine are being deceived.

Cloaking is an SEO ( Search Engine Optimization) technique to have better indexing. In this technique, the information presented to the user is different from that presented to search engine crawlers. Cloaking is an illegal practice. It is a trick or would say cheat. It is considered a “Black Hat SEO”.
