Method and system for managing advertisement quality of sponsored advertisements
InactiveUS20090254414A1Quality improvementNegative externalityAdvertisementsSpecial data processing applicationsWeb pagePoor quality
Various embodiments of systems and methods for auctioning sponsored ads are provided. The auctioning systems and methods take hidden costs of sponsored ads into account. A user's future propensity to click on ads is influenced by his / her experience with past clicks. An ad with disappointing quality of landing page imposes a negative externality on the search engine and the future stream of revenue from a user is reduced. The externality may also be positive. A good experience with an ad may train users to pay more attention to other ads. The externality of an advertisement (ad) can be considered as a “hidden cost.” Including hidden costs of sponsored ads in the auctioning process promote (or encourage) ads with good quality and discourage (or penalize) ads with poor quality. By doing so, advertisers are likely to improve the quality of ads being placed in the bidding pool, which will result in improvement in the overall quality of sponsored ads. Users benefit from the higher quality ads. The advertisers also benefit from the higher quality ads by paying less or no hidden costs for ads and by getting more satisfied customers. The search engine (site) can also benefit from having higher quality sponsored ads to gain more ad revenue.

Method and apparatus for closed loop, out-of-band backpressure mechanism
InactiveUS20060023705A1Mitigate such drawbackExtend your lifeError preventionTransmission systemsData packRefresh cycle
A backpressure mechanism uses a TDM backpressure bus with each port card being assigned time slot. During its time slot, each ingress card / port writes on the bus the number of packets it transmitted to an egress ports during the last data refresh cycle. This information is read by the egress ports and used to compute current depth of the switch fabric output queues. In addition to information received from ingress cards, egress cards keep count of number of packets received from the appropriate switch fabric port and based on it estimate / calculate the current depth of the switch fabric output queue. Congestion states are calculated for all queues by comparing the queue depth with a respective threshold. Each egress card uses these congestion states to generate backpressure signals to ingress cards. Ingress card are using these signals to make decision whether to send or not traffic to destination egress card / port.

Integrated Architecture for Performing Online Advertising Allocations
ActiveUS20150051968A1More revenueReduce complexity and latencyAdvertisementsWeb browserOnline advertising
An improved architecture including system and methods for online advertising placement that provide possibly defaulting advertisement tags the opportunity to serve an advertisement ahead of a lower value tag that is guaranteed to fill, resulting in higher CPMs (i.e., Cost Per Mille) for web publishers. The system and methods are configured to deterministically render an advertisement impression from a list of possibly defaulting advertisements in a JavaScript-enabled web browser. The knowledge of the complete outcome of such an “ad chain” at render-time significantly reduces complexity and latency in the supporting ad server. The system and method centers around a novel JavaScript approach to detect when an advertisement has been loaded but not defaulted. Additionally, the system and methods integrate the network and RTB demand channels by looking at all demand sources simultaneously and selecting the buyer from within the user's browser, and address predictive pricing to further enhance the online advertising placement process.
