    Cloaking generally means to present different version of web page contents from of search engines to search robots and human visitors based on their browser's user agent or IP address. It's a deceptive method used to cheat search engines in order to rank well for desired keywords.

    Cloaking is representing your website in a search engine in one way but showing users a different content. This means you are trying to hide information usually. You should not do cloaking. Cloaking and SEO do not go mutually unless you are talking about black hat methods.

    Cloaking is simply cloaking your affiliate links so that the direct landing page is not exposed

    Cloaking may be defined as rendering one type of page to search engine and a different version of page with different content to end users.

    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.
