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, cloak definition is, 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 by making a cloak content. You might have understood now that cloaking is an illegal practice and is considered a Black hat SEO. The Search engine may permanently ban from our index any sites or site authors that engage in cloaking.

Cloaking is black hat SEO Techniques. 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.
