How Does Opportunity Deduplication Work?

Pitchbox automatically deduplicates opportunities within the same project. We use the root domain of the opportunity to deduplicate. For example, Pitchbox would treat the following URLs as the same opportunity:

http://domain.com

http://www.domain.com

http://blog.domain.com

http://whatever.domain.com

http://domain.com/page1

http://domain.com/page2

There are some exceptions to this rule:

1. Large free hosting sites such as wordpress.com, blogspot.com, tumblr.com, etc., which offer subdomains to users are deduplicated on subdomains. For example, http://crazyknittinglady.wordpress.com and http://templefootballforever.wordpress.com are two different opportunities.
2. Link Removal campaigns only deduplicate against other link removal campaigns within the same project; it will not deduplicate against other link building campaigns.

When importing data it is also possible to create contact based opportunities. These are opportunities where there there is no associated website and the contact/email address is considered the opportunity.

Pitchbox will automatically deduplicate contact based opportunities within the same project using the email address.
