Setting up your Property
To get all the benefits of TollBit, including our analytics and bot paywall feature, the first and most important step is to add and set up your properties.
Adding a Property
When you first log in, you will be taken to the property overview page. This is where you will be able to view all the properties under
your organization and add new ones. Adding a new property is as simple as clicking on Create Property
and adding your property's domain.
Once you've added your property, we will automatically fetch your sitemap through your robots.txt
to determine your site's layout.
Much of our functionality relies on a well formatted robots.txt
file and a
sitemap that is kept up to date.
Verifying a Property
We can now move on to verifying your domain. In your home page, you will see a string in the form of tollbit-domain-verification=...
.
In your domain's DNS settings, create a TXT record for your top level domain (example.com
, not tollbit.example.com
)
and copy and paste the value of that string there. You can now click the verify button on your home page to finish the verification process.
Once you are finished with both these steps, you can now move on to either setting up analytics or bot paywall.
