Cloak of visibility

Cloaking of Visibility is a concept of using different webpages for Google Bot and a User for the same web address.Wikipedia

The Research Paper Cloak of Visibility deals with the competitive character of misuse that has given rise to a heated conflict in online masking. Here, criminals are trying to bypass the difficulty of obtaining user traffic to be used as a vehicle by search engines. And advertising networks for spreading viruses, unwanted software, and con artists’ views of clientele. Although spiders try to monitor content quality and remove unsafe URLs, there is a fundamental restriction to web browsing. Not every user will see the same thing. Split views happen naturally due to personalisation, but geo miscreants use responsive web design and SEO, using comparable targeting strategies in a blackhat capacity. To provide attractive and law-abiding material only for crawlers while also putting them at risk of assault.

Research on Cloak of Visibility
There has been a ton of earlier research on cloaking’s ubiquity and the material hidden behind cloaked entrances, but none has exactly quantified the range of cloaking techniques as it relates to search engines and ad networks. In fact, past research based their analyses on a small number of well-known cloaking methods. These consist of search visitor profiling based on the User-Agent and Referer of HTTP requests or redirect cloaking in search engine results.
