What is Cloaking ?

Cloaking is a Black Hat SEO technique, where the content of the web site changes depending on the identity of the surfer. This is done by making a cloaking script which delivers content based on the I.P. address or the User-Agent HTTP header of whatever is requesting the page, in short - finding where the surfer came from.

Cloaking is also used to trick surfers into visiting a site based on the search engine description, which would be completely different to the actual content of the site - on most occasions porn, drugs or gambling websites. The cloaking is usually combined with doorway pages.

Many search engines will ban web sites that use cloaking. For example a cloaker can have a cloaked webpage - and if the surfer came in from a search engine they would be shown the real content of the page - such as porn. However if the surfer came from anywhere else then the cloaked webpage would show.

This is important as the cloaked content would be seen by search engine bots - and would be used in the SERPS descriptions, it would also be seen by people from directories - allowing the cloaker to get links to his website in directories without them realizing that they are linking to porn, drugs or gambling, and by webmasters for link exchange requests who may also not realize that they are inadvertently link to a completely different website.

However, the majority of websites using cloaking are being found out by search engines algorithms easily - also they are being compained about to search engines from angry surfers, who having searched from something completely different is confronted with porn, pills or a casino website. Cloaking is officially a dead practise, not only because of this, but also because of the fact that conversions are very small.

Yes, there are many websites and black hat SEO forums promoting cloaking, however their endorsement is usually followed by a link to a cloaking script or product in the hope that you buy the product and therefore make them a commission.
