URL Matching Rules #

The following are the rules used in page group, conversion, and event settings, defining the content of data matching conditions.

Contains #

Defines URLs that contain a specific string. For example, when "abc.com" is set as "Contains", URLs like the following will be included:

https://abc.com/lp

https://abc.com/company

https://abc.com/company/contact

Does Not Contain #

Defines URLs that do not contain a specific string. For example, if you want to target all pages except blog pages, you can set "example.com/blog" as "Does Not Contain."

Starts With (Head Match) #

Defines URLs where the registered string matches the beginning (head) of the URL. This is often used for URLs containing query parameters.

For example, assume a specific visitor (id=9982251615) visits the following URL:

https://www.example.com/checkout.cgi?page=1&id=9982251615

Setting the above URL as "Starts With" will only affect visits from users with id=9982251615. Visits from other users will not be affected.

If you want to affect all users, but only limit it to page=1, you can use "Starts With" to set the following URL:

https://www.example.com/checkout.cgi?page=1

Alternatively, if you want to include pages other than page=1, you can use "Starts With" and register the following URL:

https://www.example.com/checkout.cgi?page

Ends With (Tail Match/Suffix Match/Trailing Match) #

Defines URLs where the registered string matches the end (tail) of the URL.

For example, if you register "/test/index.html" using "Ends With", URLs such as "http://www.example.com/s/test/index.html" will be defined as targets.

However, the following URL will not be affected because it does not end with "/test/index.html":

http://www.example.com/s/test/index.html?wore=xxx

Exactly Matches (Full Match) #

Defines URLs where the set URL is an exact match to the actual URL.

Tips:

• Match Parameters: Uses page parameters as a condition. Only users with specific parameters will be targeted.
• Does Not Match Parameters: Regardless of whether users entering the page have parameters or not, they will be targeted.

Reg Ex #

Regular expressions are a method for representing multiple strings with a specific format.

By using regular expressions, you can define more flexible conditions.

Common Regular Expression Combination

URL that starts with the website domain and ends with a slash or question mark.

Regular Expression: ^https:\/\/www.ptmind.com($|\/$|\/\?.*)

URLs that will match:

https://www.ptmind.com

https://www.ptmind.com/

https://www.ptmind.com/?WT.mc_id=xxxx

URLs that will not match:

https://www.ptmind.com/abc

(The text following this is omitted and follows the same pattern.)

Regular Expression Verification Tool

To confirm whether your regular expression is written correctly, you can use a regular expression testing tool.
