Defining site sections in managed content placements

[akatinic]

Two questions about defining site sections in managed content placements:

--If I use "example.com/section" as my placement, will it match files or only directories? I.e., will it match "example.com/section-1.html" or only "example.com/section/1.html"?

--Whenever I try to define a placement using a specific page's URL that has more than two slashes but no trailing file extension (e.g. "example.com/section/subsection/page," instead of ".../page.html") Google throws up an "invalid URL" error. I assume this is because G. is (crudely) using the file extension as a test of whether something is a page or a directory. Is there any way around this?

Thanks.

If you specify "example.com/section", that's the URL and all pages and directories below that you will be targeting such as "example.com/section/subsection"

If you want to target "example.com/section-1.html" which is a page at the root level, you will have to use "example.com" or simply target that specific page.

The invalid URL error is simply because, while that subsection might exist, there needs to be an actual standard page such as index.html as that's what Google is looking for, pages.

Thanks, LucidSW. In the second part of my question, though, I was talking about a *page* not a section--just a page without a file extension. Is there no way of targeting such beasts?
