The slider handle on the leftmost side controls the minimum value and slider value on the rightmost side controls the maximum value.

An ad with higher rank is usually shown before with lower rank. Our scale for ad-rank ranges from 1-5, 1 being the higher and more desirable value. One of the primary function that determines the ad-rank is the relative bid price or cost per click (CPC) or cost per 1000 impressions (CPM) that an advertiser is willing to pay for an ad. Because of the dynamic nature of the real time bidding auction, the ad-rank is rarely stable. It fluctuates on a daily basis. However, a trend in ad-rank or an average ad-rank is a good parameter to identify whether an ad is doing well.
We have created two parameters ad-strength and ad-gravity to define the performance of any given ad.
Here are the primary differences between the two quantities
| Ad-Strength () | Ad-Gravity () |
|---|---|
| Measures the performance of an ad over its entire lifetime | Measures the performance of an ad in recent few weeks |
| Higher value means better | Higher value means better |
| This quantity can only increase with time | This quantity can increase or decrease depending on the ad's recent performance |
| A value of zero (0) means that the ad had no traction. A value less than 10 means that ad had very little traction | A value of zero (0) means that ad never had any traction in its lifetime. A value of one (1) means that the ad had traction in the past. A value > 1 means the ad has traction currently |
| Bottomline: If you want to know the performance of an ad over long time period, use this quantity | Bottomline: If you want to know if the ad is performing well recently use this quantity |
