    The main purpose of cloaking:


    - 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.

    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.

    Purpose of cloaking is to deceive the visitors by providing them different content from the original site page and this is for increase rankings and traffic which is considered as a violation of Google's guidelines.

    Purpose of Cloaking is to present different content to both users and web crawler. It is a Black Hat SEO technique which is not recommended to perform.

    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.
