Hi there!

Cloaking is a SEO technique in which the content presented to the search engine spider is different from the content presented in the user's browser. This is a black hat SEO technique and if you are planning to do this technique, I advice you NOT to try because your website has a 100% chance to be penalize by Google.

Hope it would help you!
