In operation, responsive to request from a user for content package, a queue of available invitational content is retrieved. Thereafter, based at least on a performance history of the available invitational content in the queue, a context of the primary content, and a performance history of invitational content previously presented to other users, the queue can be at least partially reordered to provide an adjusted queue. The invitational content for the content package can then be selected based on the adjusted queue. | 12-01-2011 |
20110295679 | PRESENTING CONTENT PACKAGES BASED ON AUDIENCE EXCLUSION - The present technology maintains a profile for each user known to a content delivery system and selectively excludes delivery of certain content to some users based on past performance. The user profile includes a listing of all completed conversion actions associated with the invitational content presented to the user. When presented with a request for invitational content, the system identifies the set of all possible invitational content for the given context. Based on the user profile, the system removes from the set all invitational content for which the user has completed the associated conversion action to create a user-specific set of invitational content. The system selects an invitational content from the user-specific set of invitational content to include in the content package presented to the user. | 12-01-2011 |
20110295723 | ADVERTISEMENT INVENTORY MANAGEMENT - Systems and methods are provided for automating booking and pricing of inventory atoms are provided, where each atom defines a granular traffic target in a k-dimensional booking space. In operation, a content delivery system receives a request for an inventory slot, consisting of at least some segment characteristics and a cost objective. In response to this request, the content delivery system retrieves availability for each atom in the target inventory slot from an inventory atom database. Additionally, a pricing for each atom in the request inventory slot is also obtained. Thereafter, the content delivery system will assemble a proposed inventory slot for the advertiser that includes the atoms that meet the advertiser's cost objective and the total cost for the proposed inventory slot. If accepted, the atom inventory database can be updated to reflect the new unavailability of the atoms in the proposed database. | 12-01-2011 |

In particular, a performance history of delivered invitational content in known contexts is combined with similarity measures for the delivered invitational content, with respect to a new invitational content, to generate a list of potential contexts for the new invitational content. Similarly, a performance history of in known contexts with delivered invitational content can combined with similarity measures for known contexts, with respect to a new context, to generate a list of potential content for the new context. Further, a combination of these methods can be used to pair new invitational content with new contexts. | 12-01-2011 |
20110295997 | PRESENTING CONTENT PACKAGES BASED ON AUDIENCE RETARGETING - A present technology intelligently retargets invitational content to a user by maintaining a user profile that includes data descriptive of the user's interaction with invitational content previously presented to the user and making decisions regarding retargeting based on an analysis of the user profile. The information in the user profile is not limited to whether or not the user completed a conversion action associated with invitational content presented. Rather, the profile is expanded to include such information as where on the conversion continuum the user abandoned the process and details of how the invitational content was presented to the user, e.g. colors used, situation, and message. When presented with a request for invitational content, the system uses the profile information to influence which content is selected and how it is presented to the user. This enables the system to re-present invitational content in a form and/or situation where the user is more likely to complete the conversion action. | 12-01-2011 |
