Wildcard Support for Site Targeting
Release Date: October 6th, 2026
Site targeting now supports wildcards, allowing users to target subdomains without adding each subdomain individually.
This functionality is available for:
- Sites
- Site List – Configured in Inventory > Site Lists and then targeted on the Campaign or Line level > Targeting > Site Lists
- Allow Lists
- Block Lists
To include subdomains of a domain, add *. before the domain.
Block List Example
If *.abc.com is included in a Block List, requests from matching subdomains will be blocked.
For example:
| Bid Request Domain | Result |
www.abc.com | Blocked |
news.abc.com | Blocked |
sports.news.abc.com | Blocked |
xyz.com | Eligible to serve, assuming it is not blocked by another targeting setting |
Allow List Example
If *.abc.com is included in an Allow List, requests from matching subdomains can serve.
For example:
| Bid Request Domain | Result |
www.abc.com | Eligible to serve |
news.abc.com | Eligible to serve |
sports.news.abc.com | Eligible to serve |
xyz.com | Not eligible to serve |
Domains entered without a wildcard will continue to use the existing domain-matching behavior.
