Type of dynamic text ad targets

There are two types of dynamic text ad targets:

  • PAGES_ALL — “All the website pages”.

  • PAGES_SUBSET — “A group of pages”.

    This type of ad target contains the Conditions array, which may include up to 10 rules for page filtering. Dynamic ads will be generated for those pages that satisfy all the selection conditions.

Selection rule

A rule for page selection consists of three parameters:

  • Operand — Which page property is compared.
  • Operator — How to compare.
  • Arguments — An array of strings that the comparison is made against.

The compatibility of operands and operators is shown in the table below.

Operand Description Applicable operators
DOMAIN Domain (any level)
CONTAINS_ANY
  • Operand contains one of the strings from the Arguments array.
NOT_CONTAINS_ALL
  • Operand doesn't contain any of the strings from the Arguments array.

The input is not case sensitive.

URL Link to product
PAGE_TITLE Page title
PAGE_CONTENT Page content
OFFERS_LIST_URL The URL of a list of offers (a page with a list of products, such as the page for a product category or the page of search results using set parameters)
EQUALS_ANY
  • Operand exactly matches one of the strings in the Arguments array.
NOT_EQUALS_ALL
  • Operand doesn't match any of the strings in the Arguments array.

The protocol (http:// or https://) is ignored during comparison.
