Description

How are the advertisements chosen from the database? Is it randomly or do they selectively get selected based on the number of impressions?

For example: If using an Ad block, will continual page refreshes return random ads or is there more logic behind it? Looks like a great module though! A client of mine asked this question, but I was unable to find it in the documentation!

+1 I seem to be getting one particular ad far outshowing the others by a factor of 4:1 - all settings the same.

The ad module randomly selects an advertisement. For more details, review README.txt included with the ad module.
