Companion Positioning Just Not Working

[mogmachine]

I have ALL of my campaigns sets to Companion positioning as I do not want banners from more than one campaign on the page at the same time ....but they just keep messing up and showing one from one campaign and another from another.

This is upsetting my advertisers who have been promised exclusivity on a page and there is not logical reason (each campaign has banners to fit each space).

The only thing that might have an effect is that the campaigns are Contract and set to deliver a certain number of impressions, but I don't think delivering specific impression counts should override Companion Positioning.

Anyone got any ideas?

Which type of invocation code are you using on your site?

I would start by checking if companion positioning works (better) with remnant campaigns.

That is all very well to say, but the client is using Contract campaigns as they have specific start and end dates and number of impressions to deliver.

Is there any reason why they would not or should not work as contracts?

I understand, but let's first establish that the feature works in the least constrained scenario. Once that's clear, looking at contract campaigns is the next logical step.

I appreciate that ...but these are live campaigns for Mini, Samsung and Patek ....I can't just switch them to remnants and lose all the impressions throttling etc ...these clients will need to see complete stats for a single campaign to compare against their stats so it is important to deliver to target.

Why should companion positioning make a difference for contract versus remnant ...I would imagine it is ideally designed towards Contract campaigns ...where a remnant fills the spaces left over if Companion positioning is not selected.

Because of what you wrote in your initial post:

I was digging in case this had happened to anyone else before ...it seems a simple setup, ...multiple contracts, all with companion ...there should not be a reason why this does not work. ...but annoyingly it consistently doesn't.

Is this still an issue, @mogmachine?
