What is campaign pacing?
Gab advertisers determine the schedule over time for each campaign. Each ad created may be scheduled to run at various times by the advertiser (day, week, custom, etc). Each campaign may be manually paused or restarted to be presented to the site over your selected schedule.
Gab advertisers determine the schedule over time for each campaign. Each ad created may be scheduled to run at various times by the advertiser (day, week, custom, etc). Each campaign may be manually paused or restarted to be presented to the site over your selected schedule.
Campaign pacing represents a model which is used by campaign delivery engines to make sure that the campaign goal is reached by the time the campaign is scheduled to end, by serving the right amount of impressions to the right audience over time.
There are two basic pacing methods: evenly distributed and front loaded. While front loading makes sure that the campaign objective is fulfilled as soon as possible, the evenly distributed model aims at serving a roughly equal amount of impressions every day until the campaign is scheduled to end. How your ad runs is up to you - all in one day or evenly spread over your selected time frame.
Gab uses an even pacing and the delivery system that strives to distribute the number of impressions served equally throughout the days a given campaign is scheduled to run for, unless the advertiser chooses a different pace. You may set your schedule during campaign creation to run all in one day, per week or custom date range.
