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. no script tag also included in such technique.

Cloaking is a black hat search engine optimization (SEO) 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.It's done by IP addresses or User-Agent HTTP header by using a server-side script.

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.

Clocking is a black hat SEO technique which is used to cheat the crawler by providing different content to visitors from the crawler. In this method we show less content to visitor and show crawler more content by using some programming or script.

Cloaking is commonly referred to as a black hat or unethical SEO practice. Cloaking refers to the practice of presenting different content or URLs to users and search engines. The page which a real user visited was actually not what he wanted. Search engine is unable to index the real content and based his assessment on only that portion which was designed for search engines, instead of the one which is for the user. Google strictly penalizes this technique.

Do not ever try to use this, Site is instantly banned in search engines these days.

Cloaking is the practice when you stuff the page with your keywords in such a manner that it is not visible to user, but crawler can see that content. And an easy example is make the content same as background colour. User will not able to see the content where as Crawler will read the content.

But beware it is the story of history, Search Engines do not tolerate sites supporting cloaking.

Evil or Very Mad

Cloaking refers to any of several means to serve a page to the search-engine spider that is different from that seen by human users. It can be an attempt to mislead search engines regarding the content on a particular web site. Cloaking, however, can also be used to ethically increase accessibility of a site to users with disabilities or provide human users with content that search engines aren't able to process or parse. It is also used to deliver content based on a user's location; Google itself uses IP delivery, a form of cloaking, to deliver results. Another form of cloaking is code swapping, i.e., optimizing a page for top ranking and then swapping another page in its place once a top ranking is achieved.

It is actually called cloaking and not clocking. Showing your visitors one thing and the Spiders something else. NOT recommended!!

If you are talking about "Clocking" I would instantly assume you are talking about “Over clocking” your CPU or GPU to make it run faster than it was originally intended. It will also run hotter than it should so you need to add some extra cooling and ventilation inside your case.

Its not clocking its an "Cloaking".

Cloaking is a search engine optimization (SEO) 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 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, or that is present but not searchable. The purpose of cloaking is sometimes to deceive search engines. so they display the page when it would not otherwise be displayed (black hat SEO).
