Description

The Weighted Ads addon adds a weight field on the AdSanity ad creation screen, allowing you to set the relative importance of each piece within random or rotating display groups. Instead of treating all ads as equal in the draw, the addon adjusts the probability of each to appear based on the value you assign, giving premium sponsors more visibility without hurting the overall rotation. Ideal for those who need granular control over display frequency.

Main Features

  • Weight assignment per ad: set a numeric importance value individually for each ad created in AdSanity.
  • Frequency control in random groups: influences the display probability of ads within groups configured for random rotation.
  • Weighted rotation: adjusts the switching of rotating ads so that pieces with higher weight appear more often.
  • Relational group configuration: weights operate comparatively among ads in the same group, providing proportional distribution.
  • Native integration into creation flow: the weight field appears directly on the ad edit screen, without the need for additional screens.

Benefits of Weighted Ads

  • More visibility for premium sponsors: deliver higher-value contracts with higher display frequency within the same group.
  • Fair and configurable distribution: maintains active rotation while favoring strategic campaigns according to the defined weight.
  • Flexible business decisions: quickly adjust each advertiser’s importance without reorganizing groups or creating new positions.
  • Full utilization of AdSanity’s random rotation: maintains the system’s randomness, simply calibrating the probability of each piece.

Who is this for?

  • Editors of sites and blogs that monetize with direct ads and offer differentiated visibility packages.
  • Digital media outlets that need to prioritize main sponsors without removing secondary ones from rotation.
  • Agencies and campaign managers who manage ad groups with pieces of distinct commercial values.

Weighted Ads is the choice for those who operate AdSanity as a monetization platform and need to balance contracts of differing values in the same advertising space. Indicated for publishers, media agencies and inventory managers who seek precise control over display frequency in random rotations.
