Display Modes
Predictable cadence (e.g., 1 ad every 5 posts). Guarantees minimum visibility even in low-content contexts (at least one ad if some content exists). Avoids empty inventory when content volume is low.
Duplicate exposure may occur at very high frequency settings. Adjust frequency caps to mitigate fatigue.
Scoring System
The scoring engine prioritizes ad rotation fairness:Point Allocation
Point Allocation
Earlier (higher priority) ad items receive more points; lower-ranked ads accrue fewer points but are boosted later to maintain distribution.
Repetition Control

Higher cumulative exposure reduces near-term selection probability, lowering duplication risk.
Fairness Objective
Fairness Objective
Ensures inventory breadth—maximizes distinct impressions before repeating the same creative.
Optimization Lever

Troubleshooting
| Issue | Likely Cause | Resolution |
|---|---|---|
| Ads not showing | No eligible inventory or misconfigured placement | Verify placement enabled & content volume present |
| High repetition | Too narrow creative pool / high fixed frequency | Add creatives or switch to Time Window |
| Low impressions | Overly strict pacing or targeting | Loosen caps / expand audience |
| CTR drop | Creative fatigue | Rotate assets / test variants |
| Time window ignored | Overlapping conflicting config | Re-save settings; ensure only one active pacing rule |
| Duplicate appearing back-to-back | Scoring weights misbalanced | Increase decay or minimum separation rule |
