    The purpose of cloaking is simple means to show the different content to crawlers and different content to users means to be over smart and it is not the valid technique if you want the long term results.

    - Cloaking is used by black hat and it is one of the unethical practices in SEO. It uses the devices that provide deceiving mechanism for the search engines.

    - This directs the webpage to a place that are not visible on domain and the spiders or crawlers are analyzing for it.

    - Cloaking provides the use of false pages that are loaded with the keyword and other content that is search engine optimized.

    - This boosts the search engine results to rank the page higher on the search engines and provide artificial methods to advance the ranking of a web page.

    - Cloaking only works when it uses CGI scripts in the hidden web page used to scan the IP address of the visitor visiting the web page.

    This technique is part of blackhat SEO. One should not use it. When user search for any site then web browser displays the information of correct website but when you actually visit that information that time it redirects you to different site.

    It happens many time that we search for some different site and you are redirected to pornographic site, it is nothing but cloaking. Purpose of it is to increases the visitors for the site and site rank get increases.

    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. ... 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).

    Cloaking is another sleight-of-hand SEO technique. For SEO purposes, cloaking a site is a method of delivering a page based on who is requesting the page.

    Cloaking is a search engine optimization technique in which the content or information presented to the user is different from that presented to search engine crawlers (i.e. spiders or bots) for better indexing. In other words, the web server is specially programmed to return different content to search engines than it returns to regular users, in an attempt to distort search engine rankings. The Search engine may permanently ban from our index any sites or site authors that engage in cloaking.
