¶ Visits Cap Logic
Before using the Visits Cap we recommend to get familiar with the common logic of this feature in BeMob.
The Visits Cap option is based on the amount of visits registered for the offer within 1 hour, 24 hours or 1 month.
Once the selected period of time has passed, the cap will be reset and the traffic will be automatically redirected to the offer added to Default Path.
¶ Visits Cap Update Before The Limit Is Exceeded
If you increase the number of visits cap before reaching the limit, the changes will be applied after you save the settings.
Example: The visits cap limit on your offer is 60 visits per hour. There are 58 visits associated with this offer.
If you update the limit to 70 visits per hour, this offer will get 12 visits more. After that traffic will be automatically redirected to the offer added to Default Path.
¶ Visits Cap Update After The Limit Is Exceeded
If you decrease the number of visits cap after reaching the limit, traffic will be automatically redirected to the offer added to Default Path.
Example: The visits cap limit on your offer is 60 visits per hour. There are 58 visits associated with this offer.
If you update the limit to 57 visits per hour, traffic will be automatically redirected to the offer added to Default Path.
To redirect traffic back to the offer visits cap option is used for, it is required to increase the limit of visits.
¶ Time Periods
- Visits limit counter works in UTC timezone.
- Visit limit per hour means that an hour starts at 00 min and finishes in 00 min of the next hour.
- Visits limit for 24 hours means that 24 hours start at 00:00 of the first day and finish at 00:00 of the next day.
- Visits limit for a month means that a month starts in the first day of month at 00:00 and finishes in the first day of the following month at 00:00.
If the current month is February (28/29 days), our system will take this into account.
