How to split traffic with Experience Targeting (XT)?

Hello,

I have a question regarding splitting traffic between experiences.  I have the following XT Activity setup in Target Premium:

Experience 1: Target customers with CurrentURL contains id=A

Experience 2: Target customers with CurrentURL contains id=A

Experience 3: Target customers with CurrentURL contains id=B

Experience 4: Target customers with CurrentURL contains id=B

I would like to have the following:

If visitor hits the url containing id=A, they can qualify into either Experience 1 & 2.  If the visitor hits the url with id=B, they can qualify into either Experience 3 or 4. When I have this setup, I am only able to land on Experience 1 and 3 when changing id values.  How do I setup an activity where I can target multiple experiences with the same target condition?

Experience Targeting allows rules-based experiences to specific audiences. So if you have same audience, you can't further split it (per current design).

How would you suggest setting up a campaign with the above scenario?

Not sure if it makes sense for your business scenario, but you may want to consider Advanced Settings for the goal metric – "Increment Count, Release User & Allow Reentry".

Let me know if it helps.

I run similar XTs and found it was less of a headache to keep each little group as separate Activities and Audiences

Activity "UX ID A" and target Audience "UX ID A" where current URL contains id=A. Experience 1&2

Activity "UX ID B" and target Audience "UX ID B" where current URL contains id=B. Experience 3&4

Instead of using the XT activity type, you can apply multiple audiences to A/B test type.

This should do exactly what you want.  You can have an A/B but have different versions of A/B for different audiences

Multiple Experience Versions in an A/B Test

We released this feature last year!

Awesome - I knew there had to be a way to do this. Thanks Jason!

An added plus is that this A/B test with multiple audiences will allow for other tests to run in different areas of the page. I've learned that if you have XT running on a page, it won't let A/B tests run on the same page.
