Cloaking - How I Cloak My Google Ads To Get Them Approved

Torilen said:

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.

Hi boss, quick question: this time, my Google advertising account has been banned for copyright infringement, but this happened after I set up the cloaker, and the black keywords were already there, so where could the problem be coming from? I feel like I've had a visit from Council Beef on my black site. Thanks again for this post, boss.

Really detailed breakdown, especially the part about gradually transitioning to blackhat instead of switching everything at once. That trust-building phase makes a lot of sense. Thanks for sharing your process.

Glad I was able to bring you some insights, yes cloaking is a long and annoying process, but going through each part with discipline instead of rushing things no matter how good/bad it looks is what makes a difference between ad thats delivering and ad that get rejected before bringing a single click to blackpage.

Hi colleagues, I have a problem. I just launched my campaign, cloaking is not yet activated and the white page has downloaded correctly, but I get this message:

"Not eligible : Circumventing systems, Compromised site"

The cloaking script is present on the site, but not activated for redirection to the offer page. I'm using Cloaking House. Do you think you have a solution? Have a good trip, everyone!

In order to better understand why your ad is being rejected, I recommend not putting cloaking file on the site before actually switching to blackhat ad, this way you dont know if they dont like the keywords you use or they straight up found the cloaking file present on the site. I can not recommend Cloaking House as I do not have prior experience with them on a serious project.

How do you hide the site you're building from Google's bot without using cloaking techniques, especially when that's becoming less and less effective?

Torilen said:

Don’t upload it prior to switching to blackhat ad.

Advice I gave is to make sure cloaking/blackpage is not the reason of suspension, at some point you have to upload both blacksite and cloaking in order to filter traffic there, im saying to only do that when all the assets are Turned to blackhat so that if ban occurs before = problem with assets/keywords

If it happens after = problem with cloaker/cloaking flow

Killa49 said:

So, before showing the black page and cloaking, I gradually validate the black hat keywords for the final upload, is that right? Do you always use the same solutions for cloaking?

Torilen said:

Yes, you slowly change/add keywords, headlines, descriptions while still pointing your ad to whitepage.

Once everything in your google ads Dashboard is blackhat and delivering impressions for couple of hours without issues, you can upload your cloaking file, blackpage, again wait for a couple hours to see if cloaking file itself is going to cause any issues.

If not, you are ready to run fully blackhat ad and you can turn on your cloaker.

1. Before running Google Ads, check Cloaking House’s cloaking functionality by uploading the whitepage and blackpage cloaking files (*.php) in the admin (screenshot).
2. After confirming that the cloaking works, remove the blackpage file.
3. Run the Google Ads campaign and perform the warm-up (pointing to the whitepage).
4. After the warm-up, re-upload the blackpage file before turning on cloaking.
5. Turn on the cloaker.

Does someone cloak for you, or do you use a service, or do you do it yourself? I'm looking into this because I sell replicas on Shopify, I run on mid, and I've been banned by Google several times because of flagged keywords. I farm white like you did, but now I want to hide my site's content from Google Ads so I can run it without any problems.

Hello — I really admire how active and helpful this community is.
I have an interesting question after reading the discussion.

View attachment 483591
From what I read, the phrase “upload the blackpage cloaking file” seemed to refer to uploading a .php file in the admin area (see my screenshot).
If that’s correct, does the recommendation mean to upload the blackpage cloaking file after warming up the whitepage?

I’m using Cloaking House. Does that mean it’s safer to warm up the Google Ads campaign without any blackpage cloaking file uploaded before starting ads?

Please confirm whether I understood this correctly as follows:

1. Before running Google Ads, check Cloaking House’s cloaking functionality by uploading the whitepage and blackpage cloaking files (*.php) in the admin (screenshot).
2. After confirming that the cloaking works, remove the blackpage file.
3. Run the Google Ads campaign and perform the warm-up (pointing to the whitepage).
4. After the warm-up, re-upload the blackpage file before turning on cloaking.
5. Turn on the cloaker.

Could you please confirm if the above steps are correct?

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.
