    Well, cloaking means that we create the content that is different from the users and different for the search engine too...
    While door way means that we create the link in the web pages and then just redirect the visitors from page A to page B and then from page B to page C without any good and effective knowledge on it.....

    cloaking means showing different content to all search engine bots from what users can see.
    yes Its a black HAT SEO technique.
    how its done:
    make font color same as that of background color and stuff many keywords in that particular paras without making any sense, google bot or nay other search engine will crawl it, but users will not be able to see that stuff.
    And about doorway, Its been explained above:
    thanks

    Yes, it's correct Zunedseo. Clocking and doorway pages are absolutely blackhat seo technique....
    how people are using?
    Hidden text and hidden links also:
    Text colour, anchor text colour same as background colour, so Google spider and all search engine spiders will crawl but user can't see. Exactly, which content users will see that content search engine spider can't crawl. These are clocking, black hat technique..

    A doorway page exists solely for the purpose of driving traffic to another page. They are usually designed and optimized to target one specific key phrase. Doorway pages rarely are written for human visitors. ...

    Yes you are absolutely right. Creating doorway pages would mean that you are trying to fool the search engine by creating different content for users and different content for search engine. You site stands a serious chance of getting penalized.

    Yes both are a parts of black-hat seo, clocking shows the different content for user and search engine
    and while a web pages just redirect automatically to other pages it called doorway page
    suppose Site A redirect automatically to B then we can say A is doorway page for B
