How to exclude visitor counts on a webpage as an update item

Some websites do not have frequent updates. I get a “false positive” update visitor count, which is not what I am interested in. How do I exclude that?

If a web page has several following pages, can we crawl at least a few pages to check for updates? They all share the same url.

Hi @tgwashdc

Firstly, welcome to Distill’s forums!

To answer your first question, please take a look at our documentation on visual selector. You can deselect parts of the page which should help address the challenge of the ‘false positive’ associated with visitor counts.

To crawl a few pages, especially when the url does not change, you can try using macros. Kindly note that macros is a paid feature.

Please feel free to reach out, if you have any further questions.

Cheers,
