What is clocking in SEO with example?

[sukhsaroj]

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.

Cloaking in SEO is a black-hat technique where different content is shown to search engine crawlers than what is displayed to users. This is done to manipulate search rankings by making the page appear more relevant to search engines than it actually is.

Example: A website shows a keyword-rich page to Google for better rankings, but regular visitors see a completely different page with minimal or unrelated content.
