How do I label elements pulled from other websites such as banner ads?

It is possible to include labels for resources pulled from other domains but you will need to specify which other domains should be covered. The advanced functions on the first page of the label generator allow you to enter a list of other domains.

For example, if your site carries ads from example-advertising.net and another.ad.com then you should enter those domain names (see figure 1)

Adding Extra Domains

Fig 1: Entering extra domains when creating the labels

If you have already labelled your site and wish to add further domain names this can be done relatively easily but you will need to edit your labels.rdf file.

Open the labels.rdf file in a text editor (such as Windows Notepad or Apple's Simple Text) and look for this section:

<label:Ruleset>
  <label:hasHostRestrictions>
    <label:Hosts>
      <label:hostRestriction>example.org
        </label:hostRestriction>...

Simply copy the hostRestriction line and edit it to include your new domain(s) as you wish:

<label:Ruleset>
  <label:hasHostRestrictions>
    <label:Hosts>
      <label:hostRestriction>example.org
        </label:hostRestriction>
      <label:hostRestriction>example-advertising.net
        </label:hostRestriction>
      <label:hostRestriction>another.ad.com
        </label:hostRestriction>...

Notice that host restrictions do not normally include the www. prefix.

If you wish, you can check your edited file with the World Wide Web Consortium's RDF validator.

Note: For instructions on how to manually add further domain names to the PICS version of your ICRA label (which was delivered along with your Link tag), please see the PICS support section.
