    Hi, maybe you can help me. I get some traffic from Pinterest and that is ok so, it is not too much. But some of the traffic comes via old URLS which are redirected. I want to block those redirected Urls. How can I achieve that?

    The URLs I want to block look like: https://www.topfgartenwelt.com/2018/10/my-blog-post.html

    If I use *pinterest.com I will all block from Pinterest but I don’t want that, just when the visitor comes from an old link.

    Greetings Kathrin

    Not sure if I understand your question.

    If you would like to block a specific url then block it via lists:

    /2018/10/my-blog-post.html

    But if the url is redirected then this would have no effect.

    What exactly do you mean by “I want to block those redirected Urls”?

    I want to block URLs with a referrer of Pinterest that have my old URL-Structure like /2018/10/my-blog-post.html it it’s possible.

    The origin URL was https://www.topfgartenwelt.com/2018/10/my-blog-post.html –> redirected to https://www.topfgartenwelt.com/my-blog-post, but when such an URL comes from Pinterest, it includes a referrer as I can see it on Google Analytics. But I don’t know how to formulate it in the referrer tab.

    Some URLs from Pinterest look like that: obstbaeume-aus-kernen-se…aOFJnUSZ0PUFBQUFBR0FZWU9B –> with a lot of letters

    Would there be

    Ad Inserter can’t block urls.
    You can only prevent insertion of blocks on some pages.

    However, since the old url is redirected there is nothing you can do.
    Ad Inserter will not see that (old) page.
