Definitions
- This invention relates broadly to systems for deploying advertisements over the
- this invention relates to methods and apparatus for serving banner and video advertisements over the World Wide Web.
- An ad server is a tool used by ad agencies and/or clients to facilitate ad trafficking and to provide reporting on ad performance.
- the primary benefits of the ad server are threefold. First, rather than distribute copies of advertising content to publishers, agencies/clients can send code to publishers that calls up the creative content directly from the ad server each time an ad is scheduled to run. The agency loads the creative content to the ad server once and can modify rotations or add new units on the fly without needing to re-contact the publishers. Second, the ad server provides a wealth of data including impressions served, ads clicked, click-through rate (CTR) and cost-per-click (CPC).
- CTR click-through rate
- CPC cost-per-click
- the ad server typically has the ability to provide performance against post-click activities such as sales, leads, downloads, or any other site based action the advertiser may want to measure. Furthermore, some ad servers can associate these post-click activities not only with site visitors who came via click, but also with site visitors who were exposed to the ads, but did not click. This is commonly known as view-through data. Third, the ad server provides a consistent counting methodology across the entire campaign enabling the agency to gain an "apples to apples" comparison of performance across the entire media schedule.
- Publishing entities are supplied with an ad tag, which is code that is embedded in a web page.
- the ad tag embedded in the web page sends an "ad call" request to the ad server.
- the ad server receives the "ad call” request and selects advertising content based upon one or more targeting schemes, technical criteria and/or possibly other criteria, and then returns the selected advertising content (or a reference thereto) to the Internet user where it is rendered and displayed.
- the process of selecting advertising content in response to an "ad call" request and returning the selected advertising content (or reference thereto) is called ad rotation.
- an ad server system of the present invention includes a web-accessible platform that includes means for automatically monitoring Publisher web content items that can potentially be displayed alongside advertising content of one or more Advertiser Users.
- the web-accessible platform also includes logic for presenting a graphical user interface to an Advertiser User that enables the Advertiser User to review a list of Campaigns of the Advertiser User and perform a variety of tasks related thereto.
- the graphical user interface also provides for real-time tracking and reporting of Campaigns as well as for individual Ads of the Advertising User.
- the web-accessible platform also includes logic for presenting a graphical user interface to the Advertiser User that enables the Advertiser User to create and manage Campaigns of the Advertising User.
- the web-accessible platform also includes logic for presenting a graphical user interface to the Advertiser User that enables the Advertiser User to create and managing one or more Outlets that are assigned to one or more Campaigns of the Advertiser User.
- An Outlet specifies one or more Publisher Web Site(s) as well as one ore more Categories.
- the web-accessible platform also includes logic for presenting a graphical user interface to the Advertiser User that enables the Advertiser User to create and manage one or more Ad Rotations for the Advertiser User.
- An Ad Rotation assigns one or more Ads of the Advertiser User to one or more Outlets.
- the web-accessible platform also includes logic for presenting a graphical user interface to the Advertiser User that enables the Advertiser User to review the web content that can potentially be displayed alongside the Ads of the Advertiser User and specify Ad Filter data corresponding to a particular Ad and one or more web content items.
- the Ad Filter data controls whether the particular Ad is excluded from accompanying the corresponding one or more web content items in the ad serving process.
- the Ad Filter data preferably allows the Advertiser User to include or exclude a particular digital content item or a group of digital content items from accompanying a particular Ad.
- the web-accessible platform also includes an interface between one or more Ad Server Engines and one or more data repositories storing the information generated by the platform.
- the interface retrieves relevant information from these repositories as part of the ad serving process carried out by the Ad Server Engine(s).
- the Ad Server Engine identifies Ad Filter data corresponding to requested web content and utilizes such Ad Filter data to exclude certain Ads from an ad rotation as dictated by the corresponding Ad Filter data.
- the ad serving system and corresponding methodology of the present invention provides for automatic monitoring of the web content that can potentially be displayed alongside advertising content, and enables advertisers and brand managers to select and review one or more web content items that can accompany an advertisement as well as create ad filter data corresponding to such web content items if desired.
- the ad filter data provides brand security to the advertiser/brand manager by enabling control over the ad serving process with respect to digital content items of a Publisher's web site(s) preferably on a group basis and an individual basis.

- the Ad Server Engine 128 generates the candidate list by cooperating with the Query Logic 126 of platform 101 to:
- the Publisher Content Reference Repository 120 retrieves from the Publisher Content Reference Repository 120 the one or more Categories assigned to requested web content (which is carried out in block 116 of FIG 1. as described above), if any; the URL of the requested web content is used to identify Category information stored in the Publisher Content Reference Repository 120 that is associated therewith;
- iii) retrieve from the Ad Repository 122 of platform 101 the identification information for those Ads that are assigned to an Ad Rotation whose Outlet (Publisher Web Site(s)/Category(ies)) correspond to the URL and the Category(ies) of the requested web content as identified in i) or ii).
- the Query Logic 126 can retrieve from the Ad Repository 122 identification information for those Ads that are assigned to parent Ad Rotations whose Outlet (Publisher Web Site(s)/Category(ies)) correspond to the URL and the Category(ies) of the requested web content as identified in i) or ii), and return such identification information to the Ad Server Engine 128 for building the initial candidate list.
- the parent Ad Rotations are defined by links specified in the Ad Rotations as described above.
- the Ad Server Engine 128 cooperates with the Query Logic 126 to retrieve from the Ad Filter Repository 124 the Ad Filter data that pertains to the Ads of the candidate list.
- the Ad Server Engine then utilizes such Ad Filter data to determine which Ads (if any) should be removed from the candidate list as dictated by a corresponding Ad Filter.
- This processing preferably includes the following substeps.
- the Ad Serve Engine 128 sequences through the Ad(s) in the candidate list. For each given Ad in the sequence, the Ad Server Engine 128 identifies all Ad Filter data that pertains to the given Ad (e.g., the Ad ID for the given Ad is stored as part of the Ad Filter data).
- the identified Ad Filter data is processed to identify the particular Ad Filter data that refers to the source web content identified in the Ad Call request (e.g., the URL of the source web content refers to the URL of the particular digital content item as stored in the Ad Filter data).
- This particular Ad Filter data is analyzed to determine if the Ad Filter data indicates that the given Ad should not accompany the source web content. If so, the given Ad is removed from the candidate list. If not, the given Ad remains on the candidate list.
- step 9 in the event that the candidate list generated in step 8 has more than one Ad, the Ad Server Engine 128 applies one or more filtering operations to the candidate list to select one of the Ads in the candidate list.
- filtering operations can be based upon weights (i.e., weights pertaining to ads that compete as part of a campaign), daily impression cap coverage, start date/end date, and impressions remaining, all of which can be retrieved from the Ad Repository 122 of platform 101 by cooperation with the Query Logic 126 or other suitable mechanism.
- the URL(s) of the selected Ad is also retrieved from the Ad Repository 122 by cooperation with the Query Logic 122.
- step 10 the Ad Server Engine 128 returns the URL of the selected Ad retrieved in step 9.
- step 11 the URL(s) of the selected Ad is communicated from the Ad Server Engine 118 to the browser application environment 103 over the Internet.
- step 12 the browser application environment 103 receives the URL(s) of the selected Ad.
- step 13 the browser application environment 103 uses the received URL(s) of the selected Ad to cooperate with the Publisher Content Source(s) 114 to return the selected Ad.
- step 14 the browser application environment 103 displays or plays the selected Ad in conjunction with the web content returned in step 3.
- the Ad Server Engine 128 can possibly prefetch one or more Ads during the filtering processes of step 8 and/or step 9 and communicate the Ad to the browser application environment 103 (instead of requiring the browser application environment 103 to retrieve the Ad from one or more Publisher Content Source(s) 114).
- the ad serving system and corresponding methodology of the present invention enables advertisers and/or brand managers to select and review one or more digital content items that can accompany an advertisement, and then create ad filter data corresponding thereto if desired.
- the ad filter data provides brand security to the advertiser/brand manager by enabling control over the ad serving process with respect to digital content items of a Publisher's web site(s) on a group basis and an individual basis.
- FIG. 7 illustrates operations carried out by the web-accessible platform 101 of FIG. 1 that automatically captures screen shots of Ads that are accessible from Publishers' web sites for audit purposes (and possibly other verification purposes). Such automatic screen capture operations are more efficient and accurate than the manual operations of the prior art.
- the operations of FIG. 7 employ a decision block 701 that scans the Ads maintained by the platform 101 (which are preferably stored in the Ad repository 122 as described above) and checks whether one or more metrics for each given Ad exceed a predetermined threshold level.
- the metric can be based on the number of impressions for the Ad, the number of days run or hours run for the Ad, or other predefined metric.
- the scanning can be performed continuously, on a periodic basis (for example, every hour or every day), or on-demand. In the event that the metric(s) for a given Ad exceed the predetermined threshold level, the operations continue to block 703.
- Block 73 schedules operations for automatic capture of one or more screen shots for the given Ad.
- block 703 preferably schedules the automatic capture of a screen shot of the video content as well as the automatic capture of a screen shot of the banner advertisement of the Ad.
- the automatic screen shot capture operations scheduled by block 703 are performed. Such operations preferably utilize the URL specified by widget 423 of FIG. 4C to play/render the Ad for automatic capture.
- the automatic capture process can result in a black screen due to internet latency or unsupported refresh rate.
- a URL to the specific content of the Ad (which is preferably stored and retrieved from the Ad repository 122 of FIG. 1) can be used to access the specific content of the Ad and then played/rendered for automatic capture.
- image file(s) output from the automatic screen shot capture operations of block 707 are stored.
- Each image file includes (or is associated with) data that represents the data and time that the image file was created.
- the stored image files can be accessed as needed for audit purposes (or possibly other verification purposes).
- Publisher web server can serve the Publisher content from a content database coupled thereto. It will therefore be appreciated by those skilled in the art that yet other modifications could be made to the provided invention without deviating from its spirit and scope as claimed.
