Any one used Cloaking in Search Arbitrage ?

[QuantumFlick]

Hi,
Recently I see many cloaked ads in meta ads library, most of them looks pretty similar to search arbitrage ads. any idea how they are doing it ?

I saw them too, let me know if you can findout how it works, I am highly interested.

Yes, cloaking is often used in search arbitrage, usually to serve clean content to bots while monetizing users with aggressive or mismatched landing pages.

What you’re seeing in the Meta Ads library is likely pre-approval cloaks: setups where the ad review sees a compliant page, but real users are redirected post-click.

These flows typically rely on JavaScript triggers or server-side redirects filtered by IP, user-agent, or behavior. The method works short-term but burns fast, platform bans are common, especially if the redirect logic is too simple or reused.

Thanks for your detail message, well i found someone yesterday who can build a custom tracker and clocker in few weeks, I might need one for my CPA test and supplement ads

Yes, cloaking has been used in search arbitrage to show different content to users and ad networks, aiming to increase ad revenue. However, it violates Google’s policies and can lead to penalties or bans from ad platforms.

Thanks for sharing

In my opinion, the key point of cloaking in search arbitrage is to create a stable user experience while still bypassing the censorship algorithm. Do you see them focusing more on content or technique

Hello, the most common way to hide your ad is by cloaking. There is a lot of information on the Internet describing these services.

I think they are more like, trying to hide their final landing page from the adslibrary, in case feed provider catch them.

You should start reading bro, actually arbitrage is what we do mostly in digital marketing. and search arbitrage is the fastest way of driving revenue to your account.

I agree with @Martinjones search arbitrage has huge potential but also it has much higher risks in terms googles recent policy on RSOC and AFD is nearly dying. But I believe google will bring new products soon for us too.

Of course, the service will not describe how it works internally, they pay money for that.
You can find many scripts and other tools for cloaking on the Internet, but there is no guarantee that it will work as well as the service.

Several words about cloacking. Yes, a lot of teams use it, because they are not following compliance and that's why they hide their ads in ad library.

So ths trick can bring you a lot of money. Ofcourse there are advanced clocking techniques which let you hide everything.

So in midterm distance, this approach can bring rly huuuuuuuge money
