Can anyone tell me what the waiting/delay time is for adverts in the coop at this point in time, I have seen 100 hour figures before and wondered if this was still the same. Also; For example if I login and voluntarily revalidate my site and for some reason it fails, so I revalidate again and its successful, does this knock my ads out of the coop for 100 hours after an unsuccessful and then successful revalidation? If it does not affect the ad run and my site failed validation for a few hours due to API issues and then I revalidated it say 4 hours later, would there be any delay/effect on the ad run and to what extent? Just curious Thanks!
The 100 hours relates to how long it takes to get your ads into full circulation - once they are approved they will start being added, but full weight takes 100 hours. Similarly, it would take 100 hours for them to fall completely out of rotation. That's how I understand it to work, anyhow.
Indeed , but if you re revalidate and its unsuccessful and then 1 minute later successful does that affect the ads or does the fact that you were quick cancel any delay?
It's fine... you will be out of the rotation for the time you were not validating. For sake of argument, let's say you didn't validate for 6 hours one day, that day you would get 25% impressions than you would if you were validating the full day. So anything measured in minutes (for time not validating), isn't going to be noticeable.
Thanks, my stats have been doing some crazy dancing and I have had zero weight one day and I was just trying to analyse it all.
