Set up Program Denied Lists as an Agency

You can manage a partner denied list and an IP denied list for your brand programs.

• The partner denied list prevents specific partners from applying to your brand's program and contracting with your brand.
• The IP denied list permits blocking of an individual IP address, or a range of IP addresses, from sending traffic to your brand's program. Use this denied list to block illegitimate traffic, to prevent sources from being credited, or to stop conversions from partners that submit action data from their own IP addresses.

Set up a denied list

1. From the left navigation menu, select Advertisers.
2. Next to the brand (formerly advertiser) for which you want to set up a denied list, in the Actions column, select [Drop-down menu] → View Campaigns.
3. Under Review, select review.
4. From here, you have 2 options:

   • Set up a Partner Denied List
   • Set up an IP Denied List

Refer to the sections below to learn how to set up each denied list.
