Cloaking with google amp

[saka.resis]

greetings for all gentlemen BHW
I want to ask something weird about this gambling brand website, they use aged domain as AMP cloaking page that will direct players to their moneysite
but, when you click the link on their google search queries, it will direct you to their amp site, the interesting part is, when you go to their webpage by copy and paste the domain name, it will show you the correct domain destination and nothing related to their brand or amphtml ponting to their keywords
can you help a newbie here, how it works and how to replicate such tricks?
Thanks

edit: when you search their keywords using google.co.id (Indonesia region) the redirect will works, behavior will be same if you click on or open new tab
but when you search it using other google.com or any other region it will not work

Besides other filters they might have in place, one is for sure to display the money page only to traffic coming (refered by) from g...co.id along with a count method (based on ip or session cookie). These are the simplest features of a cloaker.

I am looking for someone who can support me on this issue for a fee.

I guess that you don't need to pay anybody in order to get some advice. I am writing code for cloakers for years and I shared some knowlege for free.
In order to achieve your goals you can use a cloaker that provides the possiblity of setting referer rules, thus you will be able to filter traffic based on its source along with other rules. I assume you already have the knowledge to safely create G accounts with proper payment methods and connectivity. Be also aware that an AMP can be generated in different ways, the fact that pages end in .html doesn't mean they are written in pure html css.

Hello, how can we contact you?

I am unsure about this forum rules as I already got a penalty for trying to contact users privately but I assume we can DM as long ad we stick to the rules.

Wait so you're saying it's just using the cloaker software? Not related to any "hacking" the site?

Regardless of the way a script is installed on a landing page (legit or by using hacking methods), the principles are the same. So for the sake of our discussion we don't comment about this side of the matter as I personally don't debate on hacking methods. Worth though noticing that a domain name could be potentially manipulated externally via DNS or by hacking the client's machine.
Therefore, as everybody explained here, there are several methods of traffic redirecting based on the data gathered from the remote machine or network.

You sound a wise being! Thank you.

Any chance I can dm you (although not sure how to dm you in BHW here) or discuss somewhere? I am new to this industry and keen to understand more how everything works.

I guess you can, as long as we don't bypass BHW rules, which is closing deals outside regular market.

Hello can i dm you to regarding this technique?

my account still new, so i cant do dm, any other way to consult about this?

We may discuss here, publicly, the aspects of this matter that are not private. Then if needed, we may move to a private environment.
As this topic is about filtering traffic based on referrer, it is pretty simple to understand that in order to split visitors on this criteria
Therefore, the idea of splitting traffic based on referrer is trivial.

Okay. I see more and more gambling sites in my country doing this. They are using their own buyed aged domain to do this kind of cloaking. When i search their keyword in google and opened their cloaked link from desktop it will show other content not their gambling landingpage. But when searched from mobile it redirect me to their amp page that showed gambling content. I thought they are using php script. Did you know how to do this technique? @myplaysoft

This setup is like a game of cat and mouse – it will work until Google figures it out. For your gambling brand, it’s a way to hijack the old domain authority and the mobile benefits of AMP to drive traffic. Start with one domain, test the waters, and if successful, scale up.

we have to:
- get the referrer, if traffic is referred (and decide what to do with the blank referrer)
if (isset($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'])) {
$refURL = $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'];
//check in testing else remove echo
echo $refURL; } else
{ echo "No referer URL"; }
- parse the URL (example in php)
$urlParts = parse_url($refURL);
//break it
$hostParts = explode('.', $urlParts['host']);
//filter based on the result
//this is the basic idea, in production more lines must be added

As you have noticed, a user agent filter is present.

can u do some basic example for the case i wrote earlier? maybe use google.com content for desktop user and xyz.com (myown html content) for mobile user? and for the serp result using my html content title and description?

If you put the question you asked above on chatGPT and ask it to show you how to go about it, It will give you an explanation on how it is done and some code on how to do it yourself
