Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for estimating expected advertisement performance of advertisements are provided. An advertisement performance prediction model is developed using features extracted from a sample set. Once developed, advertisements that are not a part of the sample set are identified and features are extracted there from. The features are then input into the advertisement performance prediction model and expected performance of the corresponding advertisement is estimated. In embodiments, the estimated expected advertisement performance may be used to appropriately rank the advertisement relative to a plurality of other advertisements such that the advertisement will be displayed according to the advertisement ranking.

The subject invention provides a unique system and method that facilitates displaying content-targeted advertisements within applications running on an end-user or client computer. To mitigate privacy concerns, one or more advertisements can be stored on a client computer. At least one advertisement can be displayed on the client based at least in part on the context relating to the user's interaction with the client. By doing so, the user's private data or content is not passed to the server—meanwhile content-targeted advertising processing can be run on the user's content to determine which advertisements to display. Different forms of advertisements can be displayed to the user when the client is offline or online to facilitate optimizing use interaction with the advertisements and billing capabilities. To ensure that advertisements are displayed when content is displayed on a client, various encryption and decryption techniques can be employed to mitigate tampering of advertisement display code.

A method for displaying information includes identifying computer-readable service code at a service site, which code, when read by a client computer via a network, causes the computer to display at least one service page containing service information. At least a portion of the service-code is selected for inclusion in a service component containing at least a portion of the service information that corresponds to the selected code. A pointer is generated, indicating a location at which the service component is accessible, for inclusion of the pointer in host code accessible to the client computer from a host site, which is separate from the service site and is accessible via the network, the host code, when read by the client computer, causing the computer to display a host page containing host information. An invocation of the pointer by the client computer is received at the location when the client computer accesses the host page. The selected service code is then conveyed to the client computer, such that responsive to the selected service code, the client computer displays the service component on the host page.

A fact checking system is able to verify the correctness of information and/or characterize information by comparing the information with one or more sources.
