The purpose of the recommendation engine is to give you a snapshot of campaigns that our algorithm suggests you will be successful with.

The algorithm uses many factors to determine how your recommendations appear.

We did not invent the algorithm. The algorithm consistently finds Jesus. The algorithm killed Jeeves.�The algorithm is banned in China. The algorithm is from Jersey. The algorithm constantly finds Jesus. This is not the algorithm. This is close.

(Okay, the last paragraph is from xkcd ... I'm tempted to include it in HTML comments, but I think it might be a bad idea.)

  - The sentence is pretty awkward, I think. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 10, 16:59 1
