It's only difficult to work out because someone has attached some "web word"
to what is a really simple principle. The idea of cloaking is to deliver
different content based upon the current client viewing the web site. It
can be used as a good or bad feature dependent on how you use it.
Say, you have www.foo.com/page.php
Well, dependent on who is looking at your site you just let page.php include
some other page, it's nothing more than a central hub to a lot of other
pages. It will just include the right content dependent on the current
viewing client.
The reason Google and such will look down upon it is that if you use this
technique with them you can alter the page when you detect google spidering
and deliver perfect (usually not very nice for us humans to read) content
which will improve your ranking; imagine:
if (google_spidering) {
include "perfect_google_page.inc";
} else {
include "for_other_people.inc";
}
