hi this is a Gery hat technique used by the SEO experts in which they present different page to the user and the different page to the Search Engine for indexing.
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. When a user is identified as a search engine spider, a server-side script delivers a different version of the web page, one that contains content not present on the visible page, or that is present but not searchable. The purpose of cloaking is sometimes to deceive search engines so they display the page when it would not otherwise be displayed (black hat SEO). However, it can also be a functional (though antiquated) technique for informing search engines of content they would not otherwise be able to locate because it is embedded in non-textual containers such as video or certain Adobe Flash components.
Cloaking may be considered as a black hat technique of seo as the sole purpose of cloaking is to display a different page to the end users and a all together different page to web crawler. This will induce web crawler to present wrong information for the query. So all major search engines look downs this practice of SEO and heavily penalize it if found.

Cloaking is the masking of the sender's name and address in an e-mail note or distribution. An individual or company that sends "bulk e-mail" usually conceals their own e-mail address for various reasons, including the possibility that someone will swamp the originator's own e-mail server with retribution spam.
