Definition of Cloaking

Cloaking is when a website returns different web pages to the search engine spiders than it does to regular visitors. Cloaking is an attempt to distort search engine rankings and give the site a higher ranking. It’s a bit of skulduggery that could get a site banned from the search engines.
