Cloaking techniques are a sophisticated set of filtering rules and redirection logics used to show different content to different types of visitors. In digital marketing—especially blackhat or grayhat contexts—these methods help advertisers avoid ad disapproval while still reaching their target users effectively.

What is Cloaking?

Cloaking is the practice of serving different web content or URLs to human users and bots (e.g., ad reviewers or crawlers). It's primarily used to pass ad reviews on platforms like Google, Facebook, or TikTok while showing aggressive or restricted landing pages to real users.

Core Cloaking Techniques You Should Know:

1. IP Filtering
   Blocks traffic from known data centers, hosting services, or ad verification IPs.

2. User-Agent Detection
   Identifies browser type to determine if the visitor is a crawler or real user.

3. Referrer Filtering
   Filters based on the origin of the traffic—rejects ad platform test clicks.

4. JavaScript Capability Checks
   Ensures bots lacking JS support are identified and served white pages.

5. Fingerprinting
   Analyzes device attributes (OS, screen resolution, language, timezone) to classify visitors accurately.

6. Behavioral Cloaking
   Uses mouse movement, scroll behavior, and dwell time to determine authenticity.
