I was penalized for this at one point, I had a wix site which in it's mobile designer only allowed you to use elements found on the main pages, so I would add elements and hide them. Google thought I was cloaking keywords and menus, had to create a fix

loaking is a spamming search engine optimization (SEO) technique that some webmasters use to show the content of their sites to the search engine spider so they could rank higher for their keywords, and they show something else to the visitors.

Cloaking refers to showing one page to a search engine and a different page to your human visitors. Doorway pages are optimized pages that pull in SE traffic, but this traffic is immediately redirected (either manually or automatically) to a different page.

A website that uses cloaking recognizes search engine spiders by their IP address.  Usually, the cloaking software creates hundreds of web pages that are optimized for a special search term so that search engine spiders get the impression that the website contains a lot of relevant information about a special topic.

Cloaking is a special kind of WebForward. Just like a WebForward, cloaking creates a hidden "A" record pointing to our web server. However, when our web server gets a request for your site from a visitor, not only does our web server forward the visitor to the URL of your choosing, but an invisible frame is used to hide the destination URL. Your domain name stays in the location bar of your visitor's browser, thus "cloaking" the destination URL.

This is one of the good example of cloaking.
It happened with one of friends site. The site was hаcked and was stuffed with hidden content that was promoting irrelevant content like viаgra. The site appeared ok when it was opened in browser. But when the page was opened on system having AVG anti virus the browser showed the page which contained irrelevant content.

It is un-ethical black hat SEO technique. The programmer writes a material for online search motor purpose, but not for the people. Consequently, the online search motor recognizes one material, but visitor recognizes other material. It's violation of Google webmaster guidelines.

Cloaking, in its most basic form, is about serving different content to search engines than you do to actual users. You're essentially trying to deceive the engines into thinking your site is something it's not. But let me tell you, it's not as clever as you think it is. The engines have gotten wise to this trick, and they're not having it. Here's how it works: when a search engine spider crawls your site, it's looking for specific signals, like meta tags, header tags, and content. And if you're serving up different content to the spider than you are to users, the engine is going to notice. They're not stupid, folks. They have algorithms that can detect this kind of manipulation, and if they catch you, you're in for a world of trouble.

And let's not forget about the user experience. You're not just trying to deceive the engines, you're also trying to deceive your users. Serving up different content to search engines than you do to users is a slippery slope, my friend. It's a recipe for disaster. Your users are going to get frustrated, and they're going to leave. And if they leave, you're not going to get any repeat business.
