I am using the 'most viewed' algorithm. Unfortunately, my site does not get a lot of traffic. Because of that, recs are not being displayed. My question is --- is there a way to manually force products to be added to the most popular list or adjust the threshold for a product to be called most popular like decrease the product view requirement to 0 or 1? </P><P></P><P>Thanks! @</P></BODY></HTML> Mon, 16 Oct 2017 14:32:50 GMT https://experienceleaguecommunities.adobe.com/t5/adobe-target-questions/force-products-to-be-added-to-the-most-viewed-list/m-p/288047#M4810 michaelt2449324 2017-10-16T14:32:50Z Re: Force products to be added to the Most Viewed list https://experienceleaguecommunities.adobe.com/t5/adobe-target-questions/force-products-to-be-added-to-the-most-viewed-list/m-p/288048#M4811 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Hi there, thanks for your question!</P><P></P><P>Yes, there are several ways of forcing a product to be displayed as a recommendation despite your site not getting a lot of traffic:</P><P></P><P>1. <A href="https://marketing.adobe.com/resources/help/en_US/target/recs/t_adding_promotions.html">Promotions</A></P><P>2. <A href="https://marketing.adobe.com/resources/help/en_US/target/recs/t_create_criteria_sequence.html">Criteria Sequencing</A> with two criteria: (1) Custom Criteria and (2) Popularity, Most Viewed</P><P>3. <A href="https://marketing.adobe.com/resources/help/en_US/target/recs/c_algorithms.html">Single Custom Criteria</A> that combines or blends products into the results of Popularity, Most Viewed.
