A property represents one site you own. Widgets are attached to a property and serve only when embedded on its domains, so the first step is registering the site correctly.

Domains and aliases

Set the canonical domain without a scheme, for example example.com. If the site also runs on subdomains, list them as aliases: www.example.com, blog.example.com, or *.example.com to match any subdomain. Aliases must be subdomains of the canonical domain. A different domain is a different property with its own verification and review.

Verifying ownership

Verification proves the domain is yours. Open the property, pick one of two options in the Domain verification card, then click Verify now:
  1. Token file (easiest): download the ready onlytraffic-<token>.txt file from the form and put it in the site root, so it opens at https://example.com/onlytraffic-<token>.txt.
  2. Meta tag: add <meta name="onlytraffic-verification" content="<token>"> to your homepage <head>.
The check runs over HTTPS from our servers. If it fails right after you uploaded the file, wait a minute for caches and retry. Verified properties pass moderation faster and the badge is visible to our review team.

Moderation

New properties and any domain or alias change go through review. While a property is pending, its widgets do not serve yet. The status column in the list shows exactly one state at a time:
StateMeaning
Verify domainOwnership not confirmed yet, verification speeds up review
ModerationUnder review, serving starts right after approval
RejectedSee the reason in the property form, fix it and save to resubmit
Active / Paused / ArchivedYour own serving status once approved
Pausing a property stops all its widgets. Archived properties are hidden from forms but keep their history.
