Within the Pageview meter configuration settings, there is a checkable option: Execute following actions only when meter increments:
This can be explained in the following two examples.
Assume the following settings are configured:
1. Pageview Meter:
-
Expire at - 2 pageviews
-
Meter unique pages only - on
2. Meter Value:
-
Equals 1 pageview
3. Show Offer
Example 1
1. Execute following actions only when meter increments is set to on
2. A user goes to a page that contains an offer
3. The user sees the offer.
4. The user reloads the page
5. The user no longer sees the offer on this page.
Explanation:
Since "Meter unique pages only" is set to on, and the user refreshes the page, the meter will not increment again. Since the meter did not increment and Execute following actions only when meter increments is set to on, the offer will not display.
Example 2
1. Execute following actions only when meter increments is set to off
2. A user goes to the page that contains an offer.
3. The user sees the offer.
4. The user reloads the page
5. The user sees the offer, again.
Explanation:
Since "Meter unique pages only" is set to on, the meter is not incremented, but because the Execute following actions only when meter increments is off , the offer is still shown even if the meter did not increment.
