With ten domains, you do not need organization. With three hundred, it is a prerequisite for bulk actions and redirects to be useful at all.
Portfolio or Tag
| Portfolio | Tag | |
|---|---|---|
| Number per domain | at most one | any number |
| Has a color | yes | no |
| Intended for | large-scale categorization: inventories, clients, projects | properties: topic, origin, quality |
Renaming a tag to a name that already exists merges both: the domains are reassigned, rules move with them, the old tag disappears. Deleting a tag also deletes the redirect rules that use it; deleting a portfolio leaves the domains untouched.
Redirect Rules
A rule says: all domains with this tag or in this portfolio point to this target. It only applies to domains whose delivery is set to Automatic.
| Field | Values |
|---|---|
| Name | free choice, for identification only |
| Tag / Portfolio | at least one of the two must be set |
| Target address | begins with https:// or http://, must not point to the domain itself |
| Type | 302 temporary (default), 301 permanent, 307, 308 |
| Tracking parameters | are appended to the target |
| Priority | -100 to 100, higher wins if multiple rules apply |
| Append path and parameters | /page?x=1 becomes /page?x=1 again at the target |
| Rule is active | pause instead of delete |
Placeholders
Can be used in target address and parameters:
{domain} {sld} {tld} {path} {query} {tag} {tags} {portfolio} {country} {referer} {lang}
This turns a single rule into a redirect that looks different for each domain, for example https://partner.de/?sub={domain}&campaign={tag}.
Which Rule Wins
If more than one rule applies, priority decides; in case of a tie, the most recently created rule wins. If no rule applies, the domain displays its sales page. In the rules list, next to each rule it shows how many of your domains it currently applies to; this is the fastest way to see whether a rule is working.
