    Cloaking or Doorway pages are web pages that are created for spamdexing, this is, for spamming the index of a search engine by inserting results for particular phrases with the purpose of sending visitors to a different page.

    It basically means that search engines are presented with a different version of website that what actually users see. To do this, there needs to be tampering to be done with the codes of website. Usually it is done to hide affiliate links which are not considered good by the search engines for a good ranking.

    First of all: don't cloak anything from search engines or users! Google explicitly warns.

    It's considered search engine manipulation, rather grey hat than black hat, I guess... but Google won't leave your site unpunished, if you use this sort of technique. No matter how well-intended your idea would be...

    Cloaking mean you are creating a page which has different content for visitor and different content for SEARCH ENGINE. eg
    if you have text content or any other content that search engine can easily read and at same page you also have flash and JavaScript content which SEARCH ENGINE can't read and this content is totally different from the page theme. so basically you are deceiving the SEARCH ENGINE.

    Anyone asking for black hat techniques or any other dubious methods should be banned. This kind of crap is dragging the quality of the forum down.

    Cloaking used to do wonders in the old type of search engines as altavista if you remember that one. Google put an end to massive use of this black hat technique thou. It still works for some, but its really risky and means asking for trouble. If you want to try it and risk a ban, search for some script and kiss your site goodbye :)

    cloaking involves having two separated url one to show to bots and another for users .It's a black hat technique you can say that.

    Its a technique of returning different pages to search engines than to people. When anybody requests the page of a particular URL from the website, the site's normal page is returned, but when a search engine spider makes the same request, a special page that has been created for the engine is returned, and the normal page for the URL is hidden from the engine mean it is cloaked.
