When a webmaster makes a web page specially for indexing in search engine and the actual service pages to be seen by people are maintained differently, this comes under clocking. So in my opinion it belongs black hat SEO technique.

Even when the webmaster create a webpage it specially take that page for indexing in search engine, and then the actual service pages which has to be seen by people are maintained differently, this also comes under clocking. People also comment that ist one of the black hat Search Engine Optimization technique. What I have heard that it is something matching the color of links with background color of that particular webpage.

Cloaking means presenting differing things to the Bot and the visitors. Showing few content to the visitors and letting the crawlers to see more content than visible by the actual visitor by some programming or scripting techniques is called cloaking. noscript tag also included in such technique.

Cloaking is a technique used by some Web sites to deliver one page to a search engine for indexing while serving an entirely different page to everyone else.

Cloaking generally means to present different version of web page contents from of search engines to search robots and human visitors based on their browser's user agent or IP address. It's a deceptive method used to cheat search engines in order to rank well for desired keywords.

Not always but in most of the cases, cloaking is also used to trick users to visit certain websites based on their description in search engines. For example a user searching for some product may click on a website in search engine based on its description and title but the final website will not be the one described in SERP's. It will be a totally different one. Therefore, these practices that are designed to manipulate search engines and deceive users by directing them to sites other than the ones they selected, and that provide content solely for the benefit of search engines should be avoided.


Different Cloaking Methods

IP address Cloaking - a method of presenting different contents based on determining IP addresses. e.g. Search engines with certain IP addresses will be shown a one version of a web page and all other IP addresses will be shown another version.

User-Agent Cloaking - a method of delivering different versions of a website based on User-Agent. e.g. Search engines and/or users using different versions of web browsers are served with different contents of a web page.

Cloaking is when you show one version of a website to Google and another to your visitors. The intention is to trick Google into thinking your site is better than it actually is. However, this is a black hat technique and to achieve it successfully you need to understand many things because it’s not easy to trick Google!

Cloaking is a search engine optimizing technique in which the content presented to the search engine spider is different from that presented to the user's browser. This is done by delivering content based on the IP addresses of the user-agent HTTP header of the user requesting the page.

That is essentially it, when you are serving different pages to the spiders and bots than you are to real users. Though it often goes further than that. Cloaking scripts would typically generate hundreds of thousands (if not millions) of fake pages on the fly which would then redirect back to one of your real pages for real users. However for bots, it would trick them into thinking your site was enormous, and loaded with pages about all sorts of keywords related to your niche
