    It is a black hat technique in which what is shown to the user is not actually present their....for example if a link shows online clothing and a user clicks it and when it goes to website , it is not a cloathing site. It is totally blackhat and can be panalized easily

    Cloaking refers to the practice of presenting different content or URLs to human users and search engines. Cloaking is considered a violation of Google’s Webmaster Guidelines because it provides our users with different results than they expected.

    Some examples of cloaking include:

    Serving a page of HTML text to search engines, while showing a page of images or Flash to users
    Inserting text or keywords into a page only when the User-agent requesting the page is a search engine, not a human visitor

    Cloaking is a method which is used to present the content differently to the search engine spider. Content present to the user may vary from content presented to the search engine. It would voilet the rules of webmaster so it is banned permanently. So better to avoid these kind of techniques to rank well in the search engines.

    Cloaking is a black hat SEO technique in which the content presented to the search engine spider is different from that presented to the user's browser.

    Cloaking is black hat seo strategy, in it the webmaster shows different content for search engine and user, so it is not allowed by Google and we should avoid it to remain in safe from google or other search engine penalties.
