openX targeting channel setup (“OR”-functionality)

Question

I have a site that uses OpenX for banner delivery. I want a banner that shows up when people are in a sports section of my site, so only when people are on

site.com/football
site.com/baseball

I set up a targeting channel for that which only shows banners when the site Page URL contains "football baseball". I use the iframe version of the invocation code. My zone has either football or baseball in it this works. But when I enter "football baseball" or "football,baseball" it doesn't work.

A workaround could be to have a new limitation rule for each of the keywords, but somehow there must be an "or" functionality in there, or am I mistaking?

Answer 1

I think there are a couple of ways you should be able to handle this.

1. Create multiple delivery limitations (as you mentioned). In the Targeting Channel or directly in the Delivery tab for the banner, when you "Add" multiple limitations there should be a drop down in between each limitation allowing you to specify the an operator AND or OR. The benefit of setting this up as a Targeting Channel is that you can create complex groupings of limitations that aren't possible at the banner level alone.

2. The other option you could try is using "Regex match". When you select the Delivery Limitation of "Site - Page URL", instead of selecting contains you can select "Regex match". This should allow you to specify a value similar to football|baseball or something more complex.
