How Share of Voice Works

Multiple advertisers can share the same placement slot — your rotation_weight determines what percentage of impressions you receive. Homepage Hero is always 100% yours. Category Exclusive owns 100% of a single category. Category Partner gets ~50% of that slot. Sitewide Spotlight rotates proportionally at ~25%. Buy up the slot to increase your share of voice.
