  • Search results can include, for example, lists of web page titles, snippets of text extracted from those web pages, and hypertext links to those web pages, and may be grouped into a predetermined number of (e.g., ten) search results.
  • the search engine 112 can also submit a request for advertisements to the system 104.
  • the request may include a number of advertisements desired. This number may depend on the search results, the amount of screen or page space occupied by the search results, the size and shape of the advertisements, etc.
  • the request for advertisements may also include the query (as entered or parsed), information based on the query (such as geo- location information, whether the query came from an affiliate and an identifier of such an affiliate), and/or information associated with, or based on, the search results.
  • the search engine 112 can combine the search results with one or more of the advertisements provided by the system 104. This combined information can then be forwarded to the user device 108 that requested the content as the page content 111.
  • the search results can be maintained as distinct from the advertisements, so as not to confuse the user between paid advertisements and presumably neutral search results.
  • the advertisers 102, user devices 108, and/or the search engine 112 can also provide usage information to the advertisement management system 104. This usage information can include measured or observed user behavior related to advertisements that have been served, such as, for example, whether or not a conversion or a selection related to an advertisement has occurred.
  • the system 104 performs financial transactions, such as crediting the publishers 106 and charging the advertisers 102 based on the usage information. Such usage information can also be processed to measure performance metrics, such as a click-through rate ("CTR”), conversion rate, and other measurable performance metrics.
  • CTR click-through rate
  • a click-through can occur, for example, when a user of a user device, selects or "clicks" on a link to a content item returned by the publisher or the advertising management system.
  • the CTR is a performance metric that is obtained by dividing the number of users that clicked on the content item, e.g., a link to a landing page, an advertisement, or a search result, by the number of times the content item was delivered. For example, if a link to a content item is delivered 100 times, and three persons click on the content item, then the CTR for that content item is 3%.
  • Other usage information and/or performance metrics e.g., cost per mille (CPM) can also be used.
  • a "conversion" occurs when a user consummates a transaction related to a previously served advertisement. What constitutes a conversion may vary from case to case and can be determined in a variety of ways. For example, a conversion may occur when a user clicks on an advertisement, is referred to the advertiser's web page, and consummates a purchase there before leaving that web page.
  • a conversion can also be defined by an advertiser to be any measurable/observable user action such as, for example, downloading a white paper, navigating to at least a given depth of a Website, viewing at least a certain number of Web pages, spending at least a predetermined amount of time on a Website or Web page, registering on a Website, etc. Other actions that constitute a conversion can also be used.
  • Advertisements can be submitted to the advertising management system 104 in a variety of ways.
  • the advertising management system 104 can facilitate submission of advertisements through a messaging interface 150.
  • the messaging interface 150 can receive messages (e.g., SMS messages, EMS messages, MMS messages, etc.) from advertisers 145 that would like to advertise through the advertising management system 104. Such messages can be transmitted through a messaging network 140 to the advertising management system 104.
  • the messaging interface 150 can provide instructions for submitting advertisements to the advertising managements system 104 using the messaging interface. Such instructions, for example, can be provided using an online interface such as, for example, a web-based interface. In other examples, the instructions can be provided within one or more messages sent to the advertiser 145. In those examples using messaging to distribute instructions to advertisers 145, the messaging interface 150 can include an automated interactive messaging response system whereby users can send a message to the messaging interface 150 and receive a response from the messaging interface 150 based upon the content of the message.
  • an initial message to the messaging interface 150 might elicit a response message providing a menu for accessing various categories of instructions, the menu instructing the user to send a reply message with the text "1" to access instructions on the general message format to use when submitting a message, a reply message with the text "2" to receive instructions on billing, a reply message with the text "3" to receive instruction on retrieving performance statistics, etc.
  • Other menu structures and/or hierarchies can be used.
  • the messaging interface 150 can include a parsing component operable to parse messages received from advertisers 145 based upon the format specified by the instructions.
  • the instructions might indicate separating fields for different advertisement components by a slash character (T) or some other delimiter.
  • the fields can include, for example, an advertisement creative field (e.g., including a header/title field and a body field) as input for generating a creative, a bidding information field identifying bidding information for participation of the advertisement in auctions, and billing information from which an advertiser's account can be debited when some action is detected with respect to the advertisement (e.g., when the advertisement is served to a user, when the advertisement is selected by a user, when a conversion occurs as a result of the advertisement, etc.).
  • an advertiser might want to submit an advertisement for a bicycle.
  • the advertiser in this example can send a text message to the messaging interface 150 including the content: Bicycle for sale!
  • the first field can be a title field, and in this example would be "Bicycle for sale!
  • the second field can be a creative field, and in this example would be "Folding Citizen Bike, sparingly used - Free dropoff in the Bay area.”
  • the third field can include the keywords to be used for the advertisement, and in this example would be "bicycle,” "bike,” “folding bike” and "Citizen bike.”
  • the text message can also include billing information for the advertiser using any of the delimiters identified above.
  • the parser can determine whether any portion of the advertisement, bidding or billing information is missing and can send a text message to the advertiser requesting any of the missing information.
  • the messaging interface 150 can elicit successive messages that include different elements of information describing the advertisement to be created. Following each message sent by the advertiser, the messaging interface can provide Instructions identifying what the contents of the next message sent by the advertiser 145 to the messaging interface 150 should include. For example, the messaging interface 150 can receive a first message that contains the advertisement. In this example, the messaging interface 150 can respond to the receipt of the advertisement with a request for bidding information. The advertiser 145 can then reply to the request for bidding information with the bids he/she wants to enter for the advertisement placement.
  • the messaging interface 150 can send a message to the advertiser 145 requesting billing information.
  • the messaging interface 150 can generate an advertisement from the initial message, and once the billing information is received, the advertisement along with associated bidding information can be released to the advertisement data store 114 for distribution using the advertising management system 104.
  • a lead capture instruction can be included with the advertisement in the advertising management system 104.
  • the lead capture instruction can provide an action to be taken as a result of the user selecting the advertisement.
  • the lead capture instruction can instruct a browser to retrieve a landing page upon selection of the advertisement. Because the advertiser has submitted the advertisement through a messaging interface 150, the messaging interface 150 can automatically generate a landing page for the advertisement.
  • a landing page for the advertisement when the user selects the advertisement, he/she will be directed to the landing page.
  • the landing page can provide additional information (e.g., address, coupons, etc.) for the advertiser. Such additional information can be collected, for example, based upon listings, messages received from the advertiser, etc.).
  • selection of the advertisement can cause a call to be placed in those instances where the user selects the device using a mobile communications device (e.g., cellular phone) or a computer with internet telephony.
  • selection of the advertisement can cause a text message to be sent to the advertiser with contact information supplied by the user.
  • the advertisement can direct the user to call a number associated with the advertisement management system 104. When a call is received, the advertisement management system 104 can record a selection of the advertisement and forward the call to the advertiser.
  • a billing component included in the messaging interface 150 can track the advertisement to determine whether an advertisement account associated with the advertisement should be debited (e.g., based upon the billing paradigm (e.g., cost per click (CPC), cost per impression (CPI), etc.) associated with the advertisement).
  • the billing component can charge a third party account (e.g., bank account, credit card, mobile phone, etc.) to open an advertisement account for the advertiser 145 with the advertising management system 104. Thereby, charges from advertisement placements can be debited from the advertisement account.
  • the charge can be made to the third party account each time an action is taken with regard to the advertisement.
  • the advertiser 145 can specify a maximum amount to be spent on the campaign.
  • the maximum amount to be spent on the campaign can be managed by the amount of money placed into the advertisement account.
  • the advertisement is not served again until the advertiser 145 places more money into the advertisement account.
  • the user can specify a maximum amount to be debited from the third party account.
  • the advertiser 145 can provide additional approval to raise the budget for the campaign.
  • the messaging interface can provide performance metrics to the advertiser 145 using a messaging format (e.g., SMS, EMS, MMS, etc.).

  • the messaging interface 150 can include an instruction component 210, an advertisement generation component 220, a payment component 230, and a campaign reporting component 240.
  • the instruction component 210 can be operable to provide instructions for formatting of submissions to the messaging interface 150.
  • the instructions can provide a text messaging template to which the advertiser can reply and fill the relevant information into the correct fields of the template.
  • the instructions can provide an interactive message interface whereby the user can request instructions for specific parts of the submission.
  • the instruction component 210 can provide successive instructions to the advertiser 145 based upon successful submission of successive components of an advertisement. For example, the advertiser 145 can submit a title. The instruction component 210 can then provide instructions for submission of body text for the creative. Upon receiving body text for the creative, the instruction component can provide instructions for submission of target information, bidding information, billing information, etc.
  • the advertisement generation component 220 can be operable to generate an advertisement based upon one or more submissions received from the advertiser 145. Based upon the information received in one or more messages from the advertiser 145 the advertisement generation component 220 can generate an advertisement, including, e.g., one or more of an advertisement creative, a linked page, target audience, bidding information, and/or billing information.
  • the advertisement generation component 220 can parse the message to separate the component parts of the advertisement (e.g., header/title, body text, link, target information, bidding information, billing information, etc.). In such implementations, the advertisement generation component 220 can inspect the message to ensure that an advertisement can be accurately created from the message. If the advertisement generation component 220 is unable to generate the advertisement from the message, the advertisement generation component 220 can direct the instructions component 210 to request the advertiser resubmit the advertisement. Alternatively, the advertisement generation component 220 can direct the instructions component to send a request to the advertiser to submit only that portion of the advertisement which was not derived from one or more earlier messages.
  • the advertisement generation component 220 can parse the message to separate the component parts of the advertisement (e.g., header/title, body text, link, target information, bidding information, billing information, etc.).
