I want to exclude multiple domains from all my reports to prevent referral spam, but as more and more of these popup I'd like to do so via a single filter..

I tried adding a filter with settings:


Filter Type 'predefined'
Exclude
Traffic from the ISP domain
Tried both 'equal to' and 'that contain'


But it won't let me enter any of these values:

semalt|buttons-for-websites|social-buttons|darodar.com
semalt,buttons-for-websites,social-buttons,darodar.com
semalt.combuttons-for-websites.comsocial-buttons.com|darodar.com


None of these are seen as a valid domain name.

Can I exclude multiple domainnames via a single filter?

as Andreas mentioned - Regular expressions are supported in custom filters. Simply create a new filter with the following:

1) Filter Name - whatever you want "Spam Sites" is what I use

2) Filter Type - Custom

3) Exclude (radio button)

4) Filter Field - Referral

5) Filter Pattern (here's a list I use - I'm sure there are a ton more)

semalt.com|free-share-buttons.com|free-social-buttons.com|simple-share-buttons.com|social-button.com|sharebutton.net|get-free-traffic-now.com|event-tracking.com


6) Apply Filter to Views - All Web Site Data

Done!

Regular expressions are only supported in custom filters. If you want to match multiple domains using a single filter, switch from a predefined filter to a custom filter.
