Advertisement Selection And Pricing Using Discounts Based On Placement

View page
US Patent:
20130325585, Dec 5, 2013
Filed:
Jun 4, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/488294
Inventors:
Alon Amit - Los Altos CA, US
Yaron Greif - San Francisco CA, US
John Hegeman - Palo Alto CA, US
International Classification:
G06Q 30/02
US Classification:
705 1441, 705 1471, 705 1466
Abstract:
An advertising selection and placement system is provided for a social networking system. An advertising selection module identifies candidate advertisements for a user to view along with social networking content. The candidate advertisements can be placed in various slots on the user's display. The expected value of various arrangements of the candidate advertisements in the slots is determined, and advertisements may be selected and placed to optimize revenue to the system. Each advertisement is evaluated using a discount function that adjusts the price of the advertisement based on its placement.

Sponsored Advertisement Ranking And Pricing In A Social Networking System

View page
US Patent:
20140019261, Jan 16, 2014
Filed:
Jul 10, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/545266
Inventors:
John Hegeman - Palo Alto CA, US
Hong Ge - Cupertino CA, US
Maxim Gubin - Walnut Creek CA, US
Alon Amit - Los Altos CA, US
International Classification:
G06Q 30/02
US Classification:
705 1471
Abstract:
A social networking system (SNS) provides sponsored stories and organic stories about actions taken by other SNS users to a viewing user. Organic stories are selected based on the likelihood the viewing user is interested in their content. While advertisers compensate the SNS for presentation of sponsored stories, the sponsored stories also include information about actions by other SNS users. To increase the likelihood the viewing user interacts with sponsored stories, a common communication channel is used to present both the sponsored stories and the organic stories. To simplify selection of organic stories and sponsored stories, the SNS determines a common unit of measurement for both and makes selections based on the common unit of measurement.

Social Context For Offsite Advertisements

View page
US Patent:
20140067545, Mar 6, 2014
Filed:
Aug 28, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/597103
Inventors:
Wenjie Fu - Foster City CA, US
Alon Amit - Los Altos CA, US
International Classification:
G06Q 30/02
US Classification:
705 1466
Abstract:
A social networking system associates one or more objects in the social networking system with a link to content external to the social networking system. This allows information about the object to be used as a proxy for information about the external content. An index associating objects in the social networking system with links to content external to the social networking system is maintained. A received link to external content are parsed into components, such as a domain name, a path, and a query string, and the components are compared to the index to identify an object associated with one or more of the comments of the received link. One or more rules may be applied to increase the likelihood of the identified object having similar subject matter as the external content.

Cognitive Relevance Targeting In A Social Networking System Using Concepts Inferred From Explicit Information

View page
US Patent:
20130124447, May 16, 2013
Filed:
Nov 14, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/296117
Inventors:
Gregory Joseph Badros - Palo Alto CA, US
Rajat Raina - Mountain View CA, US
Ding Zhou - Palo Alto CA, US
Tudor Andrei Alexandrescu - Houston TX, US
Nuwan Senaratna - Sunnyvale CA, US
Hong Ge - Cupertino CA, US
Chi Wang - Urbana IL, US
Alon Amit - Los Altos CA, US
John Hegeman - Palo Alto CA, US
International Classification:
G06N 7/02
G06N 5/04
G06Q 30/02
G06N 5/00
US Classification:
706 52, 706 45, 705 1453
Abstract:
A social networking system infers a user's present interests based on the user's recent actions and/or the recent actions of the user's connections in the social networking system. The social networking system also determines a set of concepts associated with each of a set of information items, such as advertisements. By matching the user's present interests with the concepts associated with the information items, the social networking system selects one or more of the information items that are likely to be of present interest to the user. At least one of the matched interests and concepts are not identical. The social networking system then presents the selected information items for display to the user, thereby providing information based on an inferred temporal relevance of that information to the user.
