Douglas Tokuno Improvement on Targeting: selecting your URLs

Recently, we have launched the targeting feature for BTBuckets. This allowed to configure HTML/Javascript code to be presented to segmented users straight from within the BTBuckets interface and already using the tags already installed with BTBuckets. Now, you have a new option to select the URLs that you want to deliver the target code (or apply regular expressions to a set of URLs).

Douglas Tokuno The Bucket Overwrite Loop Solution

We've received some questions about a specific use of BTBuckets upon overwriting buckets. This situation occurs when you have a bucket A and bucket B and when you enter on bucket A you don't want to belong to B and vice versa. The natural thinking is to configure A overwriting B and B overwriting A. However, we cannot have 2 buckets overwriting each other (because the system will not allow users to be placed in buckets if they already are in another bucket that overwrites the new one). BTBuckets… Continue
