    You should avoid cloaking. Techniques like this can get you penalized or even banned by search engines.

    Usually SEO techniques are of two types whitehat(ethical way) and blackhat(unethical way). cloaking is a blackhat SEO technique in which the ip is analysed. if the ip is of crawler it wud be redirected to highly optimized page which is "not userfriendly" and if ip is of user it is redirected to "user friendly" page.google is strictly against this technique.

    Cloaking is a black hat technique in search engine optimization in which the content presented to the search engine spider is different to that presented to the user's browser.

    Cloaking is a technique that let spiders see a certain page which isn't included on the main site. By doing this, you trick the user as well as the spiders...
    This will hurt your site and can get banned...
