Campaign-specific Placement Exclusions by Domain and Mobile App

If you don't want your ads to appear on certain websites or mobile apps, you can adjust this setting at the individual campaign level. For example, you may want to exclude websites that don't fit your brand or aren't helping you sell your products or services.

Please note that you can also adjust this globally for all your campaigns using General Exclusions. General exclusions take precedence over campaign-specific exclusions, with additional campaign-specific exclusions added on top.

To exclude website domains for specific web campaigns, follow the steps below

  • Log in to AdRoll and navigate to Campaigns on the left side menu.
  • On the Web & Social page, find the campaign that you want to adjust.
  • Click the ellipsis next to the campaign name and select Edit.
