20110047027 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DETERMINING WHETHER AN AD IS UBIQUITOUS - A method of determining whether an advertisement will be served against a search query calculates the ubiquitous index of the advertisement and if at least the ubiquitous index is below a predefined threshold, the advertisement is served. The ubiquitous index may be based, at least in part, on either the relatedness of a set of search queries against which the advertisement was served over a predetermined period, or a comparison between a click-through rate associated with the advertisement over the predetermined period and an aggregated click-through rate calculated over a set of advertisements available to be served over the predetermined period, or some combination thereof. | 02-24-2011 |
20120030021 | SELECTING ADVERTISEMENTS USING SAME SESSION QUERIES - Techniques are described herein for selecting an advertisement using same session queries. Each occurrence of a query is referred to as a query instance. When a query instance is received from a user, that query instance and other query instances that were received from the user prior to that query instance (i.e., historical query instances) are taken into consideration to select an advertisement to be provided to the user. The query instance in response to which the advertisement is to be provided and the historical query instances that are received at respective time instances that do not precede a threshold time instance are referred to collectively as a session of the user. Accordingly, the session of the user may be described generally as a collection of query instances that are most recently received from the user. | 02-02-2012 |
20120166277 | VARIATION OF MINIMUM ADVERTISEMENT RELEVANCE QUALITY THRESHOLD BASED ON SEARCH QUERY ATTRIBUTES - Query threshold values are determined to be used to select advertisements to be displayed in response to a search query. A query threshold value is determined for each query based on query attributes characterizing the query, such as a query frequency, query length, whether the query is a navigational query, etc. By generating a threshold value for each query, and using the query threshold value for selecting advertisements to be displayed for the query (e.g., selecting advertisements having quality scores greater than the query threshold value), the advertisements can better correspond to the query, and thus are more likely to be selected by the user. As a result, the user experience can be enhanced and the advertising revenue can be correspondingly increased. | 06-28-2012 |
20120166468 | METHOD AND SYSTEM TO UTILIZE SESSION QUERIES IN REAL TIME TO IMPROVE GEO PRECISION OF SPONSORED LISTINGS - Contextual or cumulative interpretation is applied to individual user queries to improve the accuracy of sponsored and/or non-sponsored search results. Queries are interpreted based on present features derived from a user query in the context of past features derived from qualified past queries such as those previously received during a user query session. Based on contextual interpretation, present features may be augmented using past features. A search is performed using augmented features instead of present features. Contextual interpretation of queries improves search system understanding of the context in which queries are submitted, which is particularly helpful when interpolating query intent to develop features not expressed in a query. Contextual interpretation permits queries to be interpreted and treated more uniformly and more intelligently. As a result, users and advertisers benefit from more precise sponsored and/or non-sponsored search results. As one example, contextual interpretation can improve the geo-precision of sponsored search results. | 06-28-2012 |
