== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= This inflates my clicks, can I filter those out? =

Yes you can, create a new profile based on your original profile and name it something like 'domain - clean'. For each different outbound clicks or download prefix you have, create an exclude filter. You do this by:
1. choosing a name for the filter, something like 'Exclude Downloads';
1. selecting 'Custom filter' from the dropdown;
1. selecting 'Exclude';
1. selecting 'Request URI' in the Filter Field dropdown;
1. setting the Filter Pattern to '/downloads/(.*)$' for a prefix '/downloads/';
1. setting case sensitive to 'No'.

For some more info, see the screenshot under Screenshots.
