How to Cloak Google Ads in 2025 and What Mistakes to Avoid

[YeezyPay]

Running affiliate marketing campaigns on Google Ads, especially in grayhat niches like nutra or sweepstakes, is basically like walking on a rope. At any moment, your account can be banned, and affiliates are always frustrated by this. To survive rapid account bans, many turn to using the cloaking approach, which aims to hide their original landing pages and instead show/ display pages with whitehat content to Google’s moderators.

But in 2025, Google’s algorithms are only growing smarter each day, powered by advanced AI, is cloaking still the go-to solution? And if it is, then what is the correct way to go about it?

Drawing on the expertise of the users and the team behind YeezyPay, a platform that provides trusted Google Ads agency accounts, this article will explain how to cloak correctly in 2025 and highlight critical mistakes to avoid to protect your budget, ad accounts, and sanity.

Why do grayhat campaigns get banned so quickly, and how does cloaking help?​

Everyone knows that Google Ads has very strict rules on what can be advertised and what can’t. Nutra offers promising instant results or sweepstakes with questionable terms are typical red flags for the platform. Google’s moderation, which combines automated algorithms and human reviewers, detects violations faster than ever, often resulting in a campaign rejection or ad account suspension, or ban. If your cloaking setup is weak and it can easily be noticed by Google’s systems or moderators, you could face a ban even before your campaigns are launched.

What worked before and what is working in 2025?​

Just a few years ago, simple cloaking methods were enough to bypass Google’s moderation system. Today, the game has changed dramatically due to Google’s smarter algorithms. Below we are going to list the outdated methods that nolonger work, then after, we’ll list methods that do work.

Outdated methods that no longer work:

• Using free cloaking tools and basic setups: Using free cloaking scripts or hosting both whitehat and blackhat pages in the same folder on a single domain is a recipe for disaster. Google’s AI recognizes these patterns, IP addresses, and methods, leading to bans in 99% of cases.
• Public cloaking scripts: Cloaking scripts that are publicly shared on the internet can easily be detected by Google, making them useless for avoiding bans.

If your campaign gets banned within a day or two, a weak cloaking setup is often the culprit. Free or outdated methods also reduce traffic volume, meaning many potential customers drop out before reaching your offer page.

What Works in 2025:

• Premium cloaking services: Reliable tools like Noipfraud, Keitaro (especially with Cloudflare Workers for filtering), JustCloakIt, Palladium Expert, Adspect, and FunnelFlux are popular among affiliates. These services are work well because they offer advanced filtering and traffic management.
• Custom scripts: Writing your own cloaking scripts tailored to your campaign is considered the gold standard. These scripts are unique, making them harder for Google to detect. However, creating them requires either deep technical knowledge or hiring a developer familiar with grayhat advertising. Custom scripts are less common because they’re rarely shared publicly, but they remain highly effective.
• Proper technique: Experienced affiliates know that tools and services you have are only part of the equation. Success depends on how you use them, how well you configure filters, distribute traffic, and avoid detection. Regular testing and optimizing is still necessary.

To set up cloaking correctly, you need a stable foundation. One of the key things that will give you a stable foundation is to use trusted Google Ads agency accounts which are provided by services like YeezyPay. These accounts will give you a big advantage because, unlike new or low-trust accounts, trusted agency accounts are less likely to face immediate bans, therefrore, they allow you to focus on perfecting your cloaking setup and scaling successful campaigns without worrying about account suspensions.

As for individual scripts, they are still considered "top-notch," and only a few affiliates are ready to share such scripts with the community. And by the way, a script that has already been circulated can be detected by Google way faster and this makes it lose its relevance.

So eventhough using custom scripts for cloaking are considered an "old school" approach, they has not lost their relevance, as they allow you to create a unique solution unknown to the general public and, accordingly, Google algorithms. But this method has one significant drawback – it requires you to either have deep technical knowledge or you to involve a developer who knows not only the technical details, but also the specifics of working with grayhat verticals.

What are the key principles for successful cloaking in 2025?​

No matter which cloaking tool you choose, certain principles are essential for keeping your grayhat campaigns safe and effective. These include:

1. High-Quality Traffic Filtering: Filtering is the foundation of cloaking. You must block Google’s bots and moderators from seeing your blackhat page, showing them only the whitehat page. Effective filtering uses multiple parameters, including:

• IP addresses (block known bot databases, proxies, and VPNs)
• User-Agent (the browser or device identifier)
• Geographic location (geo)
• Internet provider
• Time zone
• Browser language
• Presence of specific cookies
• Behavioral factors (how users interact with the page)
• Device fingerprint (unique device characteristics)

Some affiliates suggest blocking IPs from the U.S. and Ireland, where Google moderators are often based. However, if your campaign targets these regions, this won’t work. Recent trends show moderators using IPs from other countries like Singapore, China, Denmark, Germany, and the Philippines, so your filters must be adaptable.

1. Residential and mobile proxies: If there’s a chance that traffic might come from Google auditors, use clean residential or mobile 4G/5G proxies to show them the whitehat page. These proxies appear more legitimate than data center proxies, reducing suspicion.
2. Flawless whitehat page: The whitehat page that bots and moderators see must be perfect and free of any red flags. It could be an informational website, a blog, or a landing page with free, useful content related to your campaign’s keywords but with no hint of the grayhat offer. For example, if your ad is about “health tips,” the whitehat page should focus on general wellness, not your product.
3. Regular updates and rotation: Continuously update both your whitehat and blackhat pages, as well as the domains hosting them. Use domain rotation or distribute traffic via unique click IDs for large campaigns. Ideally, use a separate domain for each account to minimize risk.
4. No mistakes: Even a tiny mistake that exposes your blackhat page to moderators can lead to a ban in 99.9% of cases. The blackhat page should also visually resemble the whitehat page to avoid detection. Google’s algorithms now analyze a wide range of details, including cursor movements, fonts, color schemes, contrast levels, and image content. Your goal is to make the blackhat page look as similar as possible to the whitehat page in terms of design and behavior.

How to avoid ruining your well-configured campaigns, even if you have a reliable cloaker​

Even though you have a reliable cloaking tool in place, making some clumsy mistakes can lead to bans or poor campaign performance. Here are the most common mistakes to avoid:

• Careless filter settings: Setting filters too loosely in hopes of capturing more traffic often allows bots to reach your blackhat page, triggering a ban. Filters must be strict and precise.
• Aggressive ad creatives and keywords: Even with perfect cloaking, ads with bold claims like “lose weight in 3 days” or trigger words like “casino” or “win” attract unwanted attention from moderators before they even reach your landing page.
• Mismatched whitehat page and ad: If your ad promotes “health tips” but the whitehat page is about something unrelated, like lawn mowers, moderators will get suspicious. This mismatch also lowers your Quality Score and click-through rate (CTR), driving up ad costs.
• Very fast redirects: Many paid cloaking tools let you set how long users stay on the whitehat page before being redirected to the blackhat page. Redirecting too quickly can look suspicious to Google’s algorithms, increasing the risk of a ban.
• Using compromised domains or IPs: Hosting your whitehat page on a domain or IP previously flagged for violations can harm your account’s trust. Losing an account over such a small oversight, especially with a large budget, is frustrating. YeezyPay’s agency accounts can be of help here as they give affiliates more flexibility, in a way that you can easily transfer budgets to another ad account and continue with your campaigns or you can receive quick support, which reduces financial and time losses.

However, its also important to understand that even a trusted agency account from YeezyPay isn’t a guaranteed shield against bans if your cloaking is poorly set up, or if you use poorly configured “blackhat” tactics. However, for affiliates who take cloaking seriously and invest in high-quality tools, these accounts are a critical part of the setup. They reduce risks related to payments, trust and account reliability, therefore allowing you to focus on optimizing your cloaking strategy and running your campaigns. If you get an issue, the professional support team can be there to handle issues, even if it requires them to contact Google directly.

Conclusion​

So, if you want to dominate Google Ads in 2025, you'll have to play it big. Forget about free "cheats" – they will quickly lead to a ban. It's better to invest in reliable paid services, including trackers that allow you to separate traffic flows, and if time and money allow, then developing your unique scripts can be worth it as well.

Always filter traffic carefully using strict parameters, from IP addresses to cookies, and use clean residential or mobile proxies. Ensure your whitehat page is flawless and relevant to your ad, and your blackhat page should also be visually similar to your whitehat page.

Also be careful with ad creatives and keywords, and regularly update your pages and domains to stay ahead of Google’s algorithms. Also, you’ll have to use trusted agency accounts from YeezyPay to provide a stable foundation to your campaigns. These will help you reduce the risks of getting banned and give you the expert support you need to keep your campaigns running smoothly.
