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.

can you give a simple example of cloaking?

[Ken Peterson]

Cloaking is a way of hiding a text behind another one by putting it the same color as the background color, therefore unseen by the human eye but readable by a search engine. This will get you high ranked very fast but for very short time. Search engines will flag you for a review, and you risk the chance of getting banned from SERPs.
