I Bet This Has Been Asked Before

I bet this has been asked before. I didn't find an answer though.

 

I created six advertisers, each with one campaign. All campaign types are "contract", with "start immediately", and "Don't expire". I set the pricing to CPM, didn't set a price, and set impressions to unlimited.

 

Priority in relation to other campaigns are set to 2 and 2,000,000 impressions per day for each campaign.

 

The exceptions: One advertiser/campaign has 4 banners, and one is set to priority 1.

 

I have 9 zones. In some zones I have only one advertiser/campaign. Probability is 5% and I didn't see a banner shown. This should be 100%, as there are no other campaigns.

 

In zones where there are more than one campaign, the total probability is 5%.

 

If I set one campaign (my Google AdSense campaign) to "remnant" instead of "contract", it gets 95% where there are other campaigns, and 100% where it's the only one.

 

How do I fix this, as this is obviously wrong.

 

 

Thanks!

 

EDIT: I do have one campaign (text banners) that I would like to have a 20% probability of being shown, otherwise it should just be empty. Is that possible?

 

EDIT2: Still searching. Can't find a clear answer. The indication seems to be that I need to put the banner system in production and let it start serving banners, so that it can figure out the proper probability. That seems illogical to me though.

 

EDIT3: No matter what I do, I can't really get it to work. I set all my campain types to "remnant", and that makes it sort of work. But that won't hold in the long run. Am I better off trying to get DoubleClick for Publishers to work?

Hi there,

 

Your best bet is to set the campaign weight as 100 (as your base) and then use that instead of 1. So if you have higher, it'll show more frequently and less it'll show less.
