Adwords Cloaking

**premiumsource** · #1 (**permalink**) 09-08-2008, 02:46 PM

Did anyone ever try to use cloaking(SSEC, fantomas, etc.) in order to improve the quality score? And if you did what were your results? thanks.

I think they would see the redirect no? There was a method awhile ago 'adwords abuse' that worked like a charm. You would grab 20 ezine articles(with proper citation, credits) of pure content throw that up to get the qs boosted then switch the destination url. This worked well for a short time, and now I believe they will slap your bids real fast(under 24 hrs the last time i tried. It might work to boost up the main destination url qs through cloaking then change the destination url individually by kw?

No, they wouldn't see the redirect because there is no redirect. You are basically showing one thing to the search engine crawlers and a completely opposite thing to the normal visitor. I guess I'll give it a shot and see how it goes.

The absolute and honest truth is that the best long term QS strategy is well-written, well-structured content. I've had multiple campaigns running every single day for years that have turned massive profits with minimal CPC all because they were designed and written with this in mind.

In terms of the short game, cloaking works to some extent, but they're much, much better at catching it now than they were 4 or 5 years ago. Also, it's very important to remember that there is no such thing as an entirely comprehensive IP list for any of the major SE or PPC companies. Ralph Tegtmeier's methods and lists have been the most consistent by far, but even he would never state that they are anywhere near complete. His products are also generally not that effective in the hands of amateurs.

It's not a search engine bot you are submitting to, it's adwords quality score which uses different algorithms and bots to determine it. How do you intend on delivering the human visitor to the lander(while cloaking) without a redirect of some sort?

If you are using ip delivery to accomplish your cloaking it will look like this.

SE bot--> ip db --> cloaked content
Regular user--> ip db --> intended human content

The ip database is referenced to whether that IP is a known bot or not and then the human visitor is REDIRECTED to their respective page, which afaik is not easy to sustain in adwords outside of changing kw destination urls.

Hi,

I hired a company a while back, they gave me their service and pitched with quality adword optimission, well now as i learn new things and se what they have done is this:

They build up 2500+ keywords = and each keyword has the same keyword file ie:
keyword-text.php

In there it starts of with a title then a article with just that keyword in mind, + contact page / privacy page / sitemap and the article + they import a externa file from their own server.

When anyone sees that page it includes my "index" page.. All my keywords have Ok/Great on them with this method and i`m aiming for HIGH quality keywords with alot of competition.

This has worked for me the past 6+ months now, and i only use 1 account and i`m getting as low as .02 per click.

Would be nice with a automated script for this!
