Today we will talk about one of the biggest problems facing people who own online stores!

Everyone wants their products to appear on Google Shopping because of the great results that will come from your product showing in the Google search engine, especially in the shopping section.

So today we will learn how to show and promote the black hat products on Google Shopping in a new way that no one has talked about yet!

To cloak and promote your products on Google Merchant Center, you have to follow these simple four steps:

  1. Create a store with lookalike WH products
  2. Cloak the WH store domain
  3. Submit the WH products to GMC
  4. Turn the cloaking on



Create a store with lookalike WH products:

You have to create a WH product page similar to your BH product which you want the audience to access, and this WH product must comply with all of Google Merchant Center's polices.

When the image and title of this white product appear on Google, it will be the one that the customer will also see, so make sure that only the image and title are similar to your BH product, as for the rest of the product details, they mustn't be in violation of Google policies.




Cloak the WH store domain:

In this step, you must upload your cloaking file as an index file to your primary domain.

You have to define the WH page index as a (w.html), so all the WH store's files will be related to this (w.html) which is the main index previously.

Add (b.html) file and put the redirection code then set up your BH store URL inside it.

For the products, you have to use the same method. Go to the product page domain from your hosting, rename the index file to (w.html), insert the cloaking file as an index then add (b.html) with the redirection code inside it, then set up your BH product page inside this code.




Submit the WH products to GMC:

Now you have to go to your Google Merchant Center account and add a product from the WH store that is similar to your BH product.

Try to make the price of your product lower than the price of the products displayed on Google Shopping in order to help your product appear first in the search results faster.

Don't forget to submit the same photo on the WH and BH product pages.




Turn the cloaking on:

You have to keep your cloaking off while the WH link is in review, so both the bots of Google and the real audience will see the WH product.

After getting clicks on the WH product, you can turn the cloaking on, so the real audience from the target country can see your BH product.

Don't turn on the cloaking immediately after the product is approved, because Google may send some real people to see your URL after they approve it.
 
The biggest problem seems not to be how to hide, but how to create a GMC account.
 
You can buy an old Gmail account and create a new GMC account. This will help you.
If you can provide GMC account purchase, I can provide you with a large number of customers in China. Contains your cloak system.
 
What exactly is a cloaking file?

Is it any generic file using javascript code redirection? window.location.replace? window.location.href? Or is it something else entirely?

Thanks! We aren't interested.

It's a code (Mostly PHP) created by cloakers and linked with their databases, so the visits filtering process starts with this file using the database of the Cloaker.
 
Would this work for Woocommerce with affiliate products? Google doesn’t allow affiliate products to be listed in Merchant Center. Apparently, if you use a redirect instead of the shopping cart, it will get deactivated. I want my products to show up there even though they are affiliate. The products are not black hat in any other respect, it’s stuff like headphones, kitchen items, etc.

So, you need to cloak a link that leads people to the affiliate link and bots to the WH page, which you have to create from scratch and make like a drop shipping store page.
 
Hi, thank you for this step by step.
I have a few questions about the WP:
Does the white page needs to be an actual shop (in woocommerce and or any other ecommerce provider)?
Does it need to have a real checkout?
Does the white website needs to have multiple pages?
Does the white website needs to have the privacy policy and any other thing as best practices as a requirement in order to get approved before cloaking it? If so, can you list them please?

Thanks

1- Yes, this will be better.
2- It should be, because you have to make all things normal for any ad platform reviews.
3- This will be better because we talk about a real store and the real store needs many pages.
4- Yes, because you have to have a complete store.

Use any simple website builder, then upload the HTML files to your cloaked domain.
 
Wow how did I miss this back in October. Great post mate
 
How many people's sent you DM about cloaking? .
You just make threads around your service but with 0 proofs.

You have to spy on your competitors to see what titles and descriptions they use.
 
When the image and title of this white product appear on Google, it will be the one that the customer will also see, so make sure that only the image and title are similar to your BH product, as for the rest of the product details, they mustn't be in violation of Google policies.


Don't forget to submit the same photo on the WH and BH product pages.
My problem is: I'm selling ebook but want to trick Google that I'm selling a T-Shirt (Due to Copywrited Content Policy, Google doesn't allow to run Ads for ebook)
So I prepare an image link: If this link is accessed by Google, they will see it as a T-Shirt Photo. But if this link is accessed by a real-user, he will see it as a Book Photo. Technically, I can do this.
But the hardest part is: When I submit image link on GMC, Google will check and see that it's a T-Shirt and this image will be cached to Google Server and if real-users see the Ad, they alway see T-Shirt Photo (Because Google will show image from its Cache Server). But if they click the Ad and redirected to our website, they will see Book Photo and this will make my users confused and they won't continue shopping.
Can I have your advice?
