Moving a Site Hit Frequency Rule

You can move a site hit frequency rule in the list of rules. Site name expressions are evaluated in order, so in most situations you should order the rules from most restrictive to most general. For example, "*" must always be the last expression in the list or none of the later rules will apply. For more information about site hit frequency rules, see About Site Hit Frequency Rules.
