Do you cloak some of your PBN sites?

Hola BHW,

Burning money left and right for domains right now, bought 20 different domains last week, looks like I will be using just 4 of them.
Looks like this PBN thing is much of a trial and error play.

One of our competitors in my country has a super strong PBN, probably spent well over 500,000$ for it (Has been running since 2014)

Many of his sites are cloaked and can't be spotted by ahrefs etc, do cloaked sites pass juice? And is it necessary for PBNs?

Thanks!

i cloak my PBN sites too, just redirect the traffic to affiliate offers.
that way they work as backlink sources, but also as direkt money pages.
its fairly safe when done right. i have PBN sites up like that since many years and never had a single one deindexed.
they pass juice as search engines still see the site and wont be redirected, only real users.

Yes. Just makes things safer.
