Domain matching rules in the External Site Referral target
If we are using the External Site Referral target in a web activity, we can specify the domain of an external site that has referred a customer to the site. When we are setting the criteria for the target, we must specify a domain and a domain matching rule. This table provides examples of how to specify a domain and a domain matching rule combination to ensure that the target matches the right external sites.
If the Domain matching rule selection is: ...and your entry in the Domain field is: ...then the target will match: ..and the target will not match: Domain contains the following value example www.example.com www.example.ca www.example.co.uk www.zzzexample.com images.example.com example.zzz.com www.google.com Domain contains the following value .example. www.example.com www.example.ca images.example.com www.example.co.uk www.zzzexample.com example.zzz.com Domain ends with the following value example.com www.example.com www.zzzexample.com images.example.com www.example.ca www.example.co.uk example.zzz.com Domain ends with the following value .example.com www.example.com images.example.com www.zzzexample.com www.example.ca www.example.co.uk example.zzz.com Domain is exactly the following value example www.example.com www.example.ca www.example.co.uk www.zzzexample.com images.example.com example.zzz.com Domain is exactly the following value www.example.com www.example.com www.example.ca www.example.co.uk www.zzzexample.com images.example.com example.zzz.com
