    Cloaking is used by black hat and it is one of the unethical practise in SEO. In this technique the content presented to the search engine spider is different from that presented to user's browser. So better to stay way from such practise.

    It's blackhat, and if Google finds out that you're displaying different content to the googlebot user agent than a webkit user agent (for example), you'll get punished significantly in your rankings.

    These days clocking don't has any benefit. This can ban your website from the Google. So work on ethical way and work for user instead of search engine.

    It is black hat SEO technique. In this technique we write content for search engine purpose, but not for the user. So, the search engine sees one content, but user sees other content. It's opposite of Google webmaster guidelines.

    Hi,

    Cloaking is the process of blackhat technique done for link optimization, where user will see one content and google spider will see one content.

    Cloaking is employed by means of black hat and it is amongst the dishonest procedures throughout SEARCH ENGINE MARKETING. This employs your devices that include tricking procedure with regard to the major search engines. This particular redirects your webpage to some position which have been definitely not noticeable on website and the lions or perhaps robots are generally studying for doing this. Cloaking provides the employment of phony internet pages which are loaded with your search term and other content that is search results optimized.

    So are plugins like pretty link classed as BH cloaking? Anyhow cloaking is used to sometimes prevent hackers from using affiliate links to steal commissions.
