Basically, cloaking is a black hat technique. In that technique website owners deliver different content to the search engine spiders than what is showing on the website to visitors in the browser. The use of this black hat technique is to increase the website's ranking on search engine result pages.

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. In cloaking, the search engine and the user are literally not on the same page. Therefore, both the user and the search engine are being deceived.
