10 out 10 refresh/page change on UL have the New Relic advertisement in the sidebar. Seems like the normal Community ads, and non-community ones aren't appearing at all.

Is this really expected?

I cannot reproduce this behaviour at this time. Of approximately 20 refreshes that I did, I got a very random distribution of ads. I also visited new relic via their ad which seemed to make their advertisement appear more often (1 in 2-3 reloads) but I cannot get it to reliably appear each time.

This is simply a result of New Relic purchasing a large share-of-voice, 25%, of available inventory. 25% is currently the maximum we're allowing any single advertiser to purchase at one time on the sites outside of the trilogy.

Note: retargeting is not something we currently permit from paid advertisers.

    Your answer and your profile would suggest that you work for SE. If so, could you please mention that explicitly in your answer? You don't have a diamond so it looks like you're just some random user commenting instead of the person best suited to answer.

  • @terdon he has diamond on mSE. Not all SE employees have diamonds network-wide.

  • Sorry @terdon, I just expected my diamond to migrate with me. I'll have that fixed in a jiffy! :-)

  • There we go. Also, I can't believe I said "fixed in a jiffy."
