spdeveloper Posted March 23, 2014 Report Share Posted March 23, 2014 Could someone please explain to me how banner weights & probability work? I created a zone with 4 banners. By default each banner had probability 25% & weight 1 I then changed one of the banners weights to 2, thinking this would increase its probability - but it didn't! Am I doing something wrong?

andrewatfornax Posted April 22, 2014 Report Share Posted April 22, 2014 Banner weights operate in exactly the same way as campaign weights, which are described in the documentation: http://documentation.revive-adserver.com/display/DOCS/Creating+a+campaign Having just re-created your example above (having three banners with weight 1, and one with weight 2), I get exactly what I would expect - the weight 1 banners have probability of 1/5 (i.e. 20%) and the weight 2 banners has probability of 2/5 (i.e. 40%). I wonder if the above updated when the maintenance script ran? Or did it stay like this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Proability Posted March 27, 2015 Report Share Posted March 27, 2015 https://github.com/revive-adserver/revive-adserver/issues/411 seems to indicate that the banner weight doesn't actually impact the probability in the way explained in the documentation.

andrewatfornax Posted June 24, 2015 Report Share Posted June 24, 2015 Interesting point! We'll want to look into that report and make sure it's 100% accurate before we move forward, and if it's true, then of course documentation will be updated. Thanks!

jean_onward Posted June 4, 2019 Report Share Posted June 4, 2019 Not sure if this went through so trying again. ----------------- Joining this very late but I was wondering how far up can weight be set at. For instance if I wanted to create 10 banner, each with its own weight from 1-10 would this be possible. What about 20 banners with 1 to 20. While these are probably improbable I want to get a sense of how much weight can be applied to a banner in a realistic manner. Is it 5 or 10 and is there a limit? Sorry if this is addressed somewhere else already. Thanks, JT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewatfornax Posted June 7, 2019 Report Share Posted June 7, 2019 I don't think there's any upper limit to the weight, other than what the database field will support - unless the UI prevents certain values? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
