20130151350 | GRANULAR CONTROL APPLICATION FOR DELIVERING ONLINE ADVERTISING - Ad segments on a Web page are filled with ads that are served by a service provider operating between a user computer and publisher on one end and multiple ad serving entities on the other. The service provider implements a bidding process for the ad segment. The winning ad serving entity (DSP, ATD, advertiser, etc.) has its ad delivered to the user browser by the service provider where it is displayed in the Web page. The floor e-CPM for the ad segment is determined by the publisher using data related to the user (demographic, geographic, socio-economic, etc.), information on the ad segment (e.g., location on page), and relationships the publisher (e.g., a DSP having a relationship with the publisher may be offered a lower e-CPM). The service provider provides tools and highly granular information for the publisher in order to create an appropriate floor e-CPM for the ad segment. | 06-13-2013 |
