- Eğer zone daki bannerlara favori kategori tipinde kural tanımlanmış ise kişinin favori kategorisinde olan bannerlar saptanır. Öncelik bu bannerlar dışındaki bannerlara verilerek zone daki banner listesi sıralanır. Eğer capping tanımlanmış ise capping tipi ve değeri göz önüne alınarak sıralama yapılır. Buradaki mantık, bütün bannerların capping frekansına ulaştırılmaya çalışılmasıdır. Frekans değeri küçük olan banner önce gösterilir, böylece rotasyon sağlanır. Hepsi eşit ise banner prioritye gore sıralanır.
