A website that uses cloaking recognizes search engine spiders by their IP address. It returns web pages to search engine spiders that are different from the web pages that web surfers see. 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.

Clocking is a technique used in SEO to deceive search engines by showing different content to the search engine crawlers than what is actually shown to users. This is done to manipulate search engine rankings and achieve higher placement in search results.

Cloaking can be considered a black hat SEO technique because it violates search engine guidelines by presenting different content to search engines than to users. Search engines like Google consider cloaking as a violation of their webmaster guidelines and may penalize websites that engage in this practice.

It is important to note that using cloaking techniques for SEO is considered unethical and can harm a website's reputation and trust with search engines. Instead, focusing on creating high-quality, relevant content and following ethical SEO practices is the recommended approach for long-term success in SEO.
