How to Target Visitors With a Specific Anchor Tag

OptinMonster makes it easy to show your campaigns only to visitors with a specific anchor tag. Use the guide below to set up the anchor tag display rule for your campaigns.

In this article, you’ll learn how to target a campaign to an anchor tag.

Before You Start

Here are some things to know before you begin:

• Anchor tag targeting is available with a Pro or higher subscription.
• When you see Anchor tag mentioned in this article, the anchor tag is a specific portion of a web page’s URL, but not the full URL. The anchor tag is the text after a hash mark at the very end of the URL.
  
• Anchor tags can be used to link a visitor to a specific part of your webpage, like a heading in the middle of the page. For example, in the URL ‘https://www.domain.com/page#heading’ the anchor tag is ‘heading’.
• You can include or exclude a campaign from showing based on whether a specific anchor tag is present, or if it matches a pattern using RegEx.

Add Anchor Tag Rule

When you’re using anchor tags on your site, you can easily direct visitors to a specific place on a page, or trigger an OptinMonster campaign.
