When setting up a cloaker, specifically traffic guardian, it asks for a safe page and a money page. I got that part.

The part I am fuzzy on is this.....the URL we are submitting to an ad network is clearly the safe page URL, obviously.

But does that then mean that the whole traffic guardian setup and PHP code lives on the banned domain? Or does it live on the safe domain and push people to the banned domain?

Sites are wordpress FYI.
 
No matter which cloaker you use, the script always goes on the safe page to filter the traffic first.
 
The setup runs on the same place as your safe page (the URL you submit to the ad network). That’s where the traffic first lands and gets filtered. The money page is just the destination it gets routed to based on the rules you set.
 
usually the cloaker code goes on the domain ur sending traffic to first, then it decides who sees the safe page and who gets sent to the money page.
 
there is a PHP method - which sits on an empty domain - redirects based on the rules you setup
There is a JS method where the JS script sits on the Safe page - JS method is risky as you can easily see the code if u just drop it on the header etc

The cloaker code is always installed on the safe page. All traffic first lands on the safe page, where it gets filtered. Based on the filtering rules, genuine visitors are sent to the money page while the safe page handles the initial traffic.
