Solution Overview

Problem

Current search engine marketing (SEM) strategies rely heavily on intuition rather than data-driven analysis, leading to suboptimal keyword selection and pricing, which can result in inefficient traffic generation and revenue loss for publishers.

Innovation Solution

A system, such as the SEM Optimizer (SEMO), that utilizes data-driven tools for keyword recommendations and price optimization, incorporating modules for revenue analysis and user engagement metrics to select keywords and set prices that maximize traffic and revenue across search engines.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If intuition-based SEM strategies are used, then ease of operation is maintained, but keyword selection quality and revenue optimization deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of operationVSAvoidkeyword selection quality
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The system enables self-service through automated keyword recommendation and pricing optimization. The SEMO system automatically analyzes search query data, determines user engagement metrics, calculates revenue projections, and generates keyword recommendations without requiring manual analysis by the user, thus maintaining ease of operation while significantly improving keyword selection quality through data-driven insights

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Measurement precision

If data-driven keyword analysis is implemented, then keyword selection quality improves, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvekeyword selection qualityVSAvoiddevice complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The SEMO system acts as an intermediary between the user and the complex data analysis process. It provides a simplified user interface that presents keyword recommendations and pricing insights without exposing the underlying complexity of search query data analysis, user engagement metric calculation, and revenue projection algorithms, thus improving keyword selection quality while masking device complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Measurement precision

If comprehensive revenue analysis is performed, then revenue optimization improves, but loss of time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improverevenue optimizationVSAvoidloss of time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary analysis by pre-calculating user engagement metrics, determining search query performance, and projecting revenue implications before the user needs to make keyword selection decisions. This advance preparation enables comprehensive revenue analysis without requiring time-consuming real-time calculations during the decision-making process

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

An example system can include a server that includes or is associated with a keyword recommendation module. The keyword recommendation module can be configured to select keywords for a search engine for use in a search engine marketing campaign, wherein the search engine provides more traffic to Internet content of a publisher than other search engines, for the keywords. The module can also be configured to determine, per keyword, user engagement with the Internet content resulting from the traffic provided by the search engine for the keywords, according to one or more of time spent viewing the Internet content, page views of the Internet content, and dwell times. The module can also be configured to score, per keyword, the keywords according to the determined user engagement with the Internet content, and generate keyword recommendations according to the scoring of the keywords.
