For those cloaking on adwords, what do you put up as your mock page that the ad reviewers see?
Just a blog with an article with a contact us and sitemap and no bridge page? Or just any site (even one that is not yours)?
To make it simple, what are some recommendations to make sure my mock cloaked page on adwords is compliant and will get approved?
Facebook fanpage perhaps? Does that get past adwords compliance team?

any advice polarbacon?
If i cloak to a website that is not mine then my destination URL will be different then the URL in the Ad. Any idea if adwords will fret about that?
Testing a new product? Go to about page 5 of your primary keyword serp, find a nice site with a good URL not advertising on ppc and cloak them as your destination.
Saves you tons of time.
Maybe PB already spoke of this.
Make sure your list of ips is up to date. Hit me up for the fresh list.
yeah you can use your own site but then your quality score wont be as good... i usually use some random site with good PR ranking

No issues with your ads not being approved due to your preview URL (fake URL) and destination URL (domain w/ cloaker) being different?
How else you track your campaign? Think P202
Very true, i've always used subdomains on adwords to track, but i can't remember if it gave me hell and i had to put it in a subdirectory to be honest.
So to be cut and clear you've been able to cloak your fake page to other domains without adwords giving you trouble? It would save me a hell of a lot of time trying to create fake pages that have to be compliant with TOS, Sitemap, contact us, and pages of content to fake to.
When doing this for more than a quick test i always make a custom page with custom content and design. I take an English site and translate it to another language using google translator, then i translate it to another language and then back to english. If it's longterm i'll outsource custom docs
