What is Cloaking ?

thank you for the great explanation.
How can they find out if you are cloaking or not?
 
For example, you have a auto generate page, it optimaze for serach bots, but for people you want see another, very beautiful page.

Cloacking do with php or javascript language. The script see who go to page: bots people, and set different pages
 
Cloaking could do spamdexing tech. For set the site in higher ranking, this trick works.
 
Read through this thread, I'll say I know more about cloaking now. Thanks for everyone's sharing.
 
This seems to an ancient thread, but it did help me. I have been recently trying to take a break from regular money making methods and eyeing for newer and better ones.
 
Cloaking is another sleight-of-hand SEO technique. For SEO purposes, cloaking a site is a method of delivering a page based on who is requesting the page.
 
It does. It will help convert more sales instead of people buying through their own affiliate link or getting turned off then they see your just after their money.

There's actually a very simple wordpress plugin that will help you cloak your link, making it look like your affiliate link is inside your domain.


Cloaking affiliate links is good, but cloaking a page or website to fool Google... is a big no no.
 
Google cloaking comes under black hat SEO. Google Cloaking means on your web site you are trying to show two different information to the user and Google crawler. That means you are trying to manipulate google algorithm and this could be good for your site.

This is really wrong statement you got there. Some people (that I know) cloak for years, and actually have to, as it is part of their biz to make money etc. With a good cloaker, you can survive for years.
 
Cloaking refers to the practice of presenting different content or URLs to human users and search engines.


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
 
It is an black hat technique. That is the web content is displayed differently to the users and the search engine.
It is an unethical way of optimizing the website .
