20090048904 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR DETERMINING TOPICAL ON-LINE INFLUENCE OF AN ENTITY - A method and system for determining topical on-line influence of an entity are disclosed. An influence value of one social media outlet, such as a blog or social networking site, is calculated based on viral properties extracted from publications or posts by the entity through the social media outlet. When the entity has a number of social media outlets associated with it, the topical on-line influence value of the entity is determined based on the influence value of each of the associated social media outlets. | 02-19-2009 |
20090192896 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR TARGETED ADVERTISING BASED ON TOPICAL MEMES - A targeted advertising system and method based on memes contained in content sources are disclosed. Content matching keywords-defining topics are identified from content sources and are further processed to extract the memes. Ad networks servicing the content are also identified and their reach for each meme determined. The system and method extract also viral dynamics of the content associated to a meme and use the aggregation of the viral dynamics as a measure of engagement level for the meme.

The influence of the commentors and individuals is calculated by aggregating viral properties of related content and as well by taking into account the influence of outlets owned by the commentors and the individuals. | 11-12-2009 |
20110314142 | REFERRED INTERNET TRAFFIC ANALYSIS SYSTEM AND METHOD - Methods and a system for exploiting the secondary traffic generated by social networking sites are disclosed. Traffic on a commercial website is constantly monitored by a web analytics tool, which collects traffic measurements of hits, button presses, enquiries, purchases etc, as well as the referrer URL of a site such as a social networking site through which the commercial website is accessed. The collected measurements are forwarded to a Referred Traffic Analysis System. Concurrently, the Referred Traffic Analysis System crawls the Internet and collects a large number of social networking sites, analyses their content by extracting insight terms and phrases from them. In a third step, the collected traffic measurements are correlated with the collected insights from the social networking sites, and the top insights that reoccur frequently enough to appear to be a driver for the measurements observed, are presented to the client. A corresponding system is also provided. | 12-22-2011 |
