* At this moment we are testing three variants of displaying the products promoted by eMAG Ads. These will be visible on the category page, being marked with the text “Promoted” and will be displayed in one of the three areas of the product listing page: Throughout the testing period there will be no option to select the position where the promoted products will be displayed. These will appear in one of the three variants, depending on the relevance of the products and the bids configured for them. And if you can’t find the list of products promoted in the listing, you may have been placed in a test group that does not display eMAG Ads. You can try to delete cookies and access the listing page again.
