Introduction to Ad Cloaking

Ad cloaking is a method of serving different content to different types of visitors—one version to actual users and another to platform reviewers or bots. It's a technique commonly used to protect high-converting but potentially non-compliant ads from being flagged or removed by advertising platforms.

How Does Ad Cloaking Work?

• IP & ASN Filtering: Blocks data center IPs known to be used by review teams or bots

• User-Agent Detection: Identifies crawlers like Facebook External Hit or Googlebot

• Referer Validation: Inspects where the visitor is coming from (e.g., ad preview vs real click)

• Behavior Tracking: Differentiates bot-like patterns from real human interactions

Benefits of Using Ad Cloaking

• Avoid Ad Disapprovals or Suspensions

• Run A/B tests on risky creatives

• Enable GEO-targeting and segmented redirections

• Protect affiliate campaigns with limited review windows

Ethical Considerations

Cloaking should never be used to deceive users. Ethical cloaking involves using the technology for bot filtering and risk control, not for promoting false or illegal offers. At AdCloaking.com, we promote responsible cloaking focused on campaign security, not exploitation.
