    Clocking refers to the practice of presenting different content or URLs to users and search engines.

    I agree to all of them. Cloaking is a black hat SEO tactic. And may I add in this, cloaking may lead to bounce rate. Because what the bots crawled is different from what they(viewers or users) saw in their browser. It has a big chance that the visitor would just leave the site right after they saw that it was different from what they been looking for.

    Cloakin is a site that returns altered webpages to search engines crawling the site. That's why most search engines blacklist this sites.

    Cloaking refers to the practice of presenting different content or URLs to users and search engines. Serving up different results based on user agent may cause your site to be perceived as deceptive and removed from the Google index.

    Cloaking is just another tactic of black hat SEO. In cloaking, what has been presented to spiders are totally different to what it will appear in viewers or users browsers. In this technique it has a high chance of having a bounce rate.

    Cloaking is a black hat search engine optimization (SEO) technique in which the content presented to the search engine spider is different to that presented to the user's browser. This is done by delivering content based on the IP addresses or the User-Agent HTTP header of the user requesting the page. When a user is identified as a search engine spider, a server-side script delivers a different version of the web page, one that contains content not present on the visible page. The purpose of cloaking is to deceive search engines so they display the page when it would not otherwise be displayed.

    Don't know much about it, but it is something you're trying to hide from big guys :)

    And it's a BH tactic BTW!

    Through programming you are showing another page to search engine and another page to user. This is knows as clocking in SEO.
