# Create banner blocked site targeting

`POST https://YOUR-NETWORK-DOMAIN/rest-api/banner/{bannerId}/targeting/site/create.do`

Creates blocked site targeting rules for the specified banner. Accepts a comma-separated list of site IDs to block or include. Requires BLOCKED_SITES targeting permission. A created target also switches the entity's targeting on, since targets take effect only while it is on. The answer lists the ids targeted now in 'created' and the ones that already were in 'alreadyTargeted'; an unknown or deleted id is refused and nothing is created.
