Agent Name Delivery
One of two methods of delivering cloaked web pages is called Agent Name Delivery. The other method is IP Address Delivery.
Agent Name Delivery takes advantage of the fact that all web crawlers and spiders (called agents) have an identifying name. For example, Google's spider is named Googlebot. Knowing the agents name allows you to deliver a specific page associated with the agent name.
Because of the controversy surrounding web cloaking, agent name delivery is not a recommended practice. If caught your site can be removed from the search engine that discovered the cloaking.
