Cloaking website URL is a powerful technique used in advanced affiliate marketing, paid ads, and funnel optimization. It enables marketers to serve different content to bots and human users—typically showing a “white page” to ad reviewers and a converting “money page” to actual visitors.
This technique relies on redirection logic (using server rules, scripts, or platforms) to analyze visitor parameters like:
IP address (country or blacklist status)
User Agent (browser/device)
Time zone and language
Referrer (e.g., Facebook bot or Google Ads crawler)
If a visitor matches bot/reviewer criteria, they are served a clean, policy-compliant landing page. Real users are directed to the promotional or converting page.
Ad Compliance Protection: Avoid rejection by showing compliant pages to crawlers.
Boost Conversions: Serve real offers only to real users.
Prevent Link Theft: Secure affiliate URLs from scrapers.
