🛡️Cloaking: Protect Your Campaigns

By combining Keitaro, Cloaca, and proper domain protection, you create a bulletproof system that maximizes conversions while minimizing exposure.

Cloaking in web SEO refers to serving different content to search engine crawlers (bots) than to real human visitors. This technique is used to bypass ad platform restrictions, and protect your landing pages from detection and blocking.

When done correctly, cloaking allows you to:

Show clean, compliant pages to Google, Facebook, TikTok, and other moderation systems
Deliver targeted, high-conversion content to real users
Prevent competitors and bots from stealing your funnels
Extend the lifespan of domains and ads

✅ Recommended Cloaking Stack

We recommend using Keitaro TDS combined with Hide.me Cloaca or TrafficArmor for maximum reliability, accuracy, and uptime. These services are trusted by top-tier operators for their precision in bot detection and seamless integration.

🚀 Setting Up Cloaking with Keitaro

Keitaro is the industry-standard tracker used by professionals to manage, analyze, and cloak campaigns across all traffic sources.

It allows you to:

Track clicks, conversions, and ROI in real time
Filter bots, datacenters, and suspicious IPs
Serve different content based on user type (bot vs. human)
Rotate offers and landing pages automatically

🔧 Basic Setup (Recommended for 90% of Users)

Create a Campaign in Keitaro
- Go to Campaigns → Create New
- Name your campaign (e.g., "TON Airdrop - RU")
Set Up Streams
- White Stream (for bots & moderators)
  - Type: White
  - Scheme: Direct URL
  - URL: Insert a clean, static page (e.g., a blog or placeholder site)
  - Theme: Use default white theme — avoid custom designs that may trigger suspicion
- Black Stream (for real users)
  - Type: Black
  - Scheme: Direct URL or Redirect
  - URL: Your actual landing page (e.g., fake airdrop, wallet drainer)
  - Optional: Add Cloaca or TrafficArmor filter for enhanced protection
Enable Bot Filtering
- In campaign settings, enable:
  - Filter Bots
  - Filter Datacenters
  - Filter Proxies & VPNs
- Integrate HideClick Cloaca via API for updated bot lists
Deploy Your Cloaked Link
- Use the Keitaro-generated URL in your ads:
  https://yourkeitaro.com/trk/campaign123
- Bots see the White page
- Real users see the Black page

🎨 White Page Best Practices

To pass moderation on Google Ads, Facebook, TikTok, and other strict platforms:

Use a plain white background
Add generic content ("Welcome to our crypto education portal")
Avoid logos, brand names, or crypto-related terms
Do not use pre-designed "crypto" templates — they are flagged
Use the default white theme provided by Keitaro

❌ Never use custom white themes with animated loaders or flashy designs — they increase rejection risk.

To set a clean white page via CURL (recommended):

curl -o index.html https://templates.quarklab.app/white-simple.html

🔒 Domain Protection: Prevent Direct Access

Even with cloaking, your Black page can be exposed if someone accesses it directly (e.g., via web scrapers, wget, or browser extensions like WebScrapBook).

To prevent this, block direct access to your landing page.

🔐 How to Enable Direct Access Protection (Keitaro Only)

Add this PHP check at the top of your index.php or index.html:

<?php
if (!isset($rawClick)) {
    // Direct access detected — redirect or show blank page
    http_response_code(404);
    die("Page not found");
}
?>

$rawClick is a Keitaro internal object created only when a user comes through the tracker
If it doesn’t exist → the visitor bypassed Keitaro → likely a bot or scraper
Blocks tools like wget, curl, or manual URL entry

Without this protection, your real landing page can be:

Reported to Google
Copied by competitors
Blacklisted by ad platforms

🛡️ Black Protection: Advanced Security

Enable Black Protection to ensure only filtered traffic reaches your high-value page.

How It Works:

All traffic must go through Keitaro
Keitaro filters:
- Known bots (Googlebot, Bingbot, etc.)
- Datacenter IPs (AWS, DigitalOcean, etc.)
- Proxies and residential VPNs
Only clean, human-like traffic is forwarded to the Black stream

Never share the direct Black URL. If leaked, the page becomes vulnerable to reports and scrapers.

You can customize the error message when direct access is blocked:

<h1>404 Not Found</h1>
<p>The requested resource was not found on this server.</p>

But keep it generic — don’t reveal cloaking logic.

🤖 Why Bot Filtering Matters

Modern ad platforms and search engines use:

Headless browsers (Puppeteer, Selenium)
IP reputation databases
Behavioral analysis (mouse movement, scroll depth)

Without proper filtering, these systems will:

Detect your real page
Flag it as malicious
Ban your domain and ad accounts

Keitaro + Cloaca provides:

Real-time bot IP updates
Device fingerprinting
User-Agent validation
Referrer checks

Do NOT:

Disable bot filtering
Share direct Black links
Use flashy white pages
Skip the $rawClick check

DO:

Rotate domains every 5–7 days
Test with real devices
Monitor logs in Keitaro daily
Update cloaking databases weekly

By combining Keitaro, Cloaca, and proper domain protection, you create a bulletproof system that maximizes conversions while minimizing exposure.
