Cloaking is a technique used to deliver the content on a Web page to a search engine in a way that is different to what the user was looking for.

The purpose of cloaking is to boost a website's search engine rank on certain keywords. Cloaking takes a user to the other sites than what he or she expects by disguising those sites' true content.

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.
