Help Targeting Ad to a Single Url

Help Targeting Ad to a Single Url

Vote

When a post is sponsored, we like to give the sponsor's ads 100% share of voice on the page (example: https://flowermag.com/setting-up-a-holiday-bar/ ) I have been using the method below, suggested by this forum. However, while it works with direct links, I have recently discovered that when page views come from through MailChimp or social media platforms, the code added the end of the links overrides this solution. Any suggestions?

For reference, the previously used method, which does not work when page views come from Mail Chimp or social media platforms, is below:

Create a Placement
Set the Order to a number lower than what is being used anywhere else (maybe -100). This will give the placement priority over everything else.
In Page Targeting > Path Targeting, set to "Only the specified paths" and enter "/setting-up-a-holiday-bar/" (without the quotes) into the text box.
In Zone Targeting, target the Placement to the Zone where you want the ad to appear.

Yes, you can use the wildcard character (*) at the end of the path. So in the Path Targeting field, instead of "/setting-up-a-holiday-bar/", use "/setting-up-a-holiday-bar/*" (without the quotes). Note the star/wildcard character at the end. This will match any url where the path starts with "/setting-up-a-holiday-bar/" regardless of what comes at the end. For example, with the wildcard at the end, this will match: "https://www.example.com/setting-up-a-holiday-bar/?something=somethingelse".
