Hey everyone,

I decided to share some insights into how I approach cloaking with Google Ads and the steps I take to get my ads approved and running effectively.

What Type of Accounts Do I Use?

I primarily use agency ad accounts. While they won't save you from Google if you're caught, they tend to be much stronger than regular accounts. If you can get access to invoice-paid accounts, that’s even better — it helps you avoid “suspicious payment” bans, which are a common trigger for account suspensions.

What About Whitepages?

I always create my own whitepages. Yes, there are tools and services that generate them using AI, but most of those follow predictable patterns that Google’s algorithms can easily recognize and flag.

The key here is to actually understand Google’s policies and terms. If you know what Google wants, you can create a site that looks clean, informative, and real — something they’ll approve without hesitation.

It’s crucial that your whitepage matches the theme of your blackpage and your ad creative. Don’t make the rookie mistake of promoting a “crypto casino” with a whitepage about birds. Instead, I’d create a blog-style whitepage that looks like a purely informational site about crypto casinos, with no links, no aggressive CTA, and nothing that violates Google’s rules.

I Have My Whitepage and Blackpage Ready, Cloaker Installed — Now What?

Here’s where most people screw up. You can’t just flip the switch and start running blackhat ads. You need to gain Google’s trust first.

I always start by running a fully whitehat ad, with the cloaker turned off — so all traffic goes to the whitepage. I let this run for at least 48 hours after approval, with a budget of at least $30/day. The more money you spend during this “warm-up” phase, the more trust you build with Google’s system.

Once I’ve spent around $50–100 on a fully whitehat campaign, I slowly start transitioning to blackhat. The key is not to delete everything and dump in a new ad. You want to gradually replace elements, so it looks like you're just optimizing performance.

Here’s how I do it:
  • Start by modifying the headlines.
  • Then adjust the descriptions.
  • Finally, add your blackhat keywords.
Only change or add one thing every 12 hours. This slow evolution makes it look like you’re testing and improving your ad rather than completely altering its purpose. Let the ad run for a bit after each change before making another one.

How Much Should You Spend Before Going Fully Blackhat?

From my experience, it’s best to spend around at least $200–250 during the warm-up phase before your ad becomes fully black. This gives you the best shot at building trust and avoiding early detection.

How to Scale Without Triggering Flags

If you want to scale your ad, do it slowly. Increase your budget by no more than 10–20% at a time, and only do this every few hours. Let the ad run for a few hours at the new budget before raising it again.

Even if your campaign is super profitable, resist the urge to scale fast. It’ll get you flagged quicker. Go slow — you’ll scale higher and last longer.

How Long Will My Ad Survive Before Getting Banned?

This varies. Some ads last a month, others get banned after just three days. The key here is: don’t get emotionally attached to your ad.

If Google bans your ad and it keeps getting rejected no matter what you tweak, let it go. Don’t waste time trying to resurrect a dead campaign 50 times. Sometimes, Google just doesn’t like the narrative, and it’s better to pivot to a new angle or offer.

My Ad Account Got Banned During the Warm-Up Phase – What Now?​

This can happen multiple times when starting out. That's why I recommend changing only one thing at a time during the warm-up phase. This makes it easier to identify which change caused the suspension.

If your ad got banned before you added any blackhat elements, here are a few things to check. It's important to ensure everything is set up correctly from the beginning. Otherwise, you won’t be able to figure out whether the issue is with your domain (for example, if it’s banned on another ad account), your whitepage (not complying with Google’s terms and policies), or your payment method (if it’s been used on other banned ad accounts).

Checklist Before Running a Warm-Up Ad​

  1. Domain: Ensure the domain has never been used for Google Ads before.
  2. Whitepage: Make sure your whitepage is fully custom and compliant with Google’s Terms of Service.
  3. No Overlaps: Ensure there are no overlaps between this ad account and any previous accounts that were banned.
  4. Cloaker: Your cloaker should be functional and properly set up. Test it before running the ad.
  5. Whitehat Creative: Double-check that your creative is 100% whitehat and doesn’t contain any trigger words that Google might flag.

What Happens If Your Whitehat Ad Gets Approved?​

If your ad is approved as a fully whitehat ad, it will be much easier to identify the issue if it gets banned later. From experience, 90% of bans that occur after approval are due to blacklisted keywords in the headline, description, or as search keywords. If this happens, you’ll need to either change the project or find different keywords that target the same audience.


Which Cloaker Do You Use?​

I personally like Adspect, but there are plenty of cloakers out there worth trying. For beginners who don’t want to invest too much upfront, I recommend Cloaking House, which offers a 7-day free trial. This is a great way to test your skills and see how well you can hide from Google before committing to a blackhat ad campaign and moving to paid options once you start generating profits.


Which Geo Do You Target?​

Personally, I’ve had the most success with Asian countries for blackhat ads. The most difficult ones to run are Tier 1 countries, but it’s not impossible. It just requires a more careful approach and more money spent on the warm-up phase for your ad account.



Running ads like this isn’t for everyone. It’s not easy, and if anyone claims they can run your ad 100% without issues, they’re likely trying to scam you. There’s a lot of trial and error involved, but you can minimize the risks by doing everything correctly from the start. This isn’t a foolproof recipe to get every ad approved. If someone claims they have a bulletproof strategy that works on every single project, be sure they’re not selling it for $100 on BlackHatWorld.


Good Luck!​

I wish you the best of luck on this journey — you’ll need it to stay on track and keep testing.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask! I’ll answer as much as I can based on my experience.

Thanks for sharing such a detailed breakdown — this is one of the most well-structured overviews of cloaking with Google Ads.
which agency account are you using , is it from BHW or a private source?

I am using private source, but I used agency ad accounts from BHW and they worked well for me, I moved to private source only because of better conditions. There is a lot of agencies on BHW, just do not pay too much upfront or before you know what you are getting, ask for minimum deposit account, try to run some whitehat ad just to see if the account is not dead completely and slowly raise the budgets, lot of guys here act like professionals but not a lot of guys here can also back it up with their product/service.
 
Really informative guide as we've had some issues with our ads before and detection so hopefully this might help us rectify a few things.

maybe we've been too aggressive with the switch over, and difference in layout. Think detection is improving spotting differences between the pages? AI perhaps?

I honestly do not care that much about layout of the page, but its a very valid point to say the least. Will try to create whitepage with same/similar layout as blackpage and try to run it to see if there is any difference as google might be tracking cursor movements of users etc. Truth is they can be tracking anything and everything so there is no way to be perfectly safe against them, but the goal should be to get as close to perfect as possible so will definitely try this.

Sorry I cant give you an answer right away, will test but even then its going to be just my guess according to my statistics, anyways its a valid point definitely and something that I should implement.

Filtering

I decided to take some time to write more detailed instructions regarding my cloaking settings. One common mistake I see is people not filtering countries properly.


If you're targeting specific geos like Taiwan, Thailand, or Hong Kong, you don’t need to allow traffic from all countries—just the ones you're actually targeting. Some people think getting a random “lucky” click from another country might help, but it’s not worth it. The risk-to-reward ratio is terrible.


If someone visits from a country outside your target geo, it’s much safer to show them the whitepage. Trust me—it's way more valuable to keep your ad account alive and running for another week than to gamble on one random click that probably won’t convert anyway.


The same logic applies to filtering devices, operating systems, or any other parameter: you want to make sure that only users matching your ideal customer profile see your money page. Every mismatch increases your risk.




Redirect vs. No Redirect Cloaking


Personally, I prefer no redirect cloaking, meaning the same domain loads but serves different content depending on the visitor. As mentioned earlier in this thread, it’s a good idea to keep the layout of the blackpage and whitepage similar. This way, mouse movements and on-site actions remain consistent, making it harder for Google to detect that different content is being served.


(This is just a theory—it hasn’t been fully tested—but it’s something worth considering. So far, I’ve successfully cloaked money pages even when the whitepage layout was different, but things in this space change fast.)


With redirect cloaking, the risk is higher. Google is more likely to notice the URL change and suspend your ad account.




Long-Term Considerations


I don’t recommend running cloaking ads if you’re trying to build a long-term business. Sooner or later, cloaking will get detected, and you’ll have to start over from scratch with new domains, accounts, and assets. Unless you’re using a very long funnel with multiple sites, it’s extremely hard to keep your original domain alive under Google’s radar.


Cloaking ads is also time-consuming, especially if you don’t fully understand what’s happening or what you’re doing. If you decide to go this route, make sure the payoff is worth it.


If you’re only making $1k–$5k in two weeks, it’s going to be much harder to stay motivated and keep optimizing compared to someone pulling in $100k–$500k in the same timeframe.




Recommended Niches for Cloaking:


✅ Finance
✅ Gambling
✅ Affiliate marketing (if conditions are favorable)


Not Recommended:


❌ E-commerce
❌ Social media marketing (SMM)
❌ Low-value products
❌ Low-value services
❌ Low-demand products
❌ Low-demand services
 
When do you turn on your cloaker? 24 hours after black keywords spent on the white page?
 
When do you turn on your cloaker? 24 hours after black keywords spent on the white page?
Yes, once ad is active for at least 12-24 hours using full black ad creative and black keywords I turn on cloaker and start letting people Go to blackpage.
 
Okay, adding a few more mistakes I’ve noticed a lot of people make when they’re starting with cloaking Google Ads:


  • Weak ad account – You can’t just buy a soft-reg account and throw a random credit card on it. You’ll get banned instantly. Focus on getting aged ad accounts — ideally ones with payment history. The more money that’s been spent on the account, the more trust you’ll get from Google. Agency ad accounts are even better if you can get your hands on one.

  • Bad project – No ad is going to save you if no one is actually interested in your offer. Make sure your product or service is something that’s in demand. Otherwise, even the best cloaker and setup won’t help you.

  • Starting with a project that’s way too hard – Don’t begin your cloaking journey by trying to run offers related to major banks or financial institutions. These are all heavily blacklisted keywords. You’ll just end up chasing your own tail, thinking you’re doing something wrong with your setup. In reality, you’re targeting something way too protected for a beginner.

  • No patience – It’s important to make changes slowly. Don’t change everything at once just because you want to get your ad live for your black project. If your budget is tight, lower your daily spend — but don’t shorten the time between changes. Google’s review systems notice frequency and patterns, not just content.

  • Bad cloaker – Showing bots a literal blank white page isn’t enough. A lot of beginner cloakers just block bots or admin IPs entirely — that usually results in instant suspension or, at the very least, disapproval for “landing page not working.” You need a high-level cloaker that properly splits traffic: show legit content to bots/mods, and your black page to real users. Anything less and you’re toast.

  • Lack of organization – You need to be highly organized. Document every change you make, the time you made it, and what the result was. Getting banned isn’t the end of the world. What is a problem is getting banned and not knowing why — that guarantees you’ll keep making the same mistakes over and over.

  • Jumping straight into blackhat ads – If you’ve never run whitehat ads, don’t expect to succeed in blackhat. You need to understand how PPC and Google’s ad systems work first. I personally spent 3 years running only whitehat campaigns before I decided to "turn black." I’d never go back to whitehat now, but that experience helped me massively. If you’re serious about this, learn how to run PPC ads properly and then slowly move into blackhat. If you’re not willing to do that, you’re better off paying someone who knows what they’re doing — it’ll save you a lot of time, frustration, and money.
 
I usually set up a clean landing page that follows Google’s rules, then use a cloaker to redirect real visitors to the actual offer. Just make sure your ad and front page look totally legit—timing and quality matter a lot to avoid getting flagged.

If the keyword is blacklisted Google will notice whenever you change it, if the keyword "binomo" is the only one that you can use and cant think of other kwywords (competitors, terms people searching for binomo might also search for etc.), I recommend switching the project.

It’s crucial that your whitepage matches the theme of your blackpage and your ad creative. Don’t make the rookie mistake of promoting a “crypto casino” with a whitepage about birds.

Overall a very good and informative read.

However the warm-up phase, spending $200–250, builds temporary trust, but Google cross-references domains, payments, and overlaps. One mistake which can be like a flagged keyword or reused domain definitely triggers bans. This approach demands constant trial and error, with no guaranteed success. It’s a gamble, not a strategy.

rather focus on compliant campaigns since they’re sustainable and less likely to waste resources. If you must test cloaking, expect setbacks and don’t rely on it for stable income.
 
what if the blackhat keyword is a brand keyword, do i still need to add it after running whitehat keywords for a bit or can i have it from the start?
 
First of all, thanks for all the advices !
I have a question pls, why do you think it's not valuable to work with smm and google ads, there is no money to do with it ?
