When you have an active Homepage Feature or Top Ad boost you will see it displayed with a green "Active Boost" label to confirm that it is active and to show where it will appear.

For other people visiting Bike Hub (or when you are logged out of your account), these adverts are displayed in rotation to share the space equally with other boosted adverts.

A Homepage boost shows your advert on the Bike Hub homepage and marketplace home page in equal rotation with the other Homepage Featured adverts.

How often your Homepage Feature displays depends on the total number of active Homepage Feature ads sharing the space at the time.

The Top Ad upgrade creates a copy of your original advert which is displayed on rotation within the top 3-4 upgraded adverts at the top of the listing or search page. So while it may not appear at the top all the time, all adverts with this upgrade get their share of time in the space.
​
When the search criteria are broad and there is high demand for Top Ad space in a particular category (e.g. "All Ads" or "Mountain Bikes") the frequency with which your advert is displayed will reduce.
​
However, within a specific search intent, e.g. by brand ("Trek" or "Top Fuel"), price range, or a specific province ("Gauteng"), your Top Ad will be shown far more frequently, if not all the time. This is how most buyers search the marketplace, so your advert targets buyers with a real interest in what you are selling.

Rotation shares the premium space fairly among all boosted adverts. Even if you don't see your advert in the placement on every visit, plenty of other buyers do.

It also keeps boosts affordable. A permanent, exclusive placement would cost far more, so sharing the space on rotation gives every boosted advert strong visibility at a fair price.

A Bump promotion brings your advert back to the top of the listings. It will move down the pages again as new adverts are placed.
