20100088186 | ADVERTISING INVENTORY CONTROLS - Embodiments of methods, apparatuses, or systems associated with advertising inventory controls are disclosed. | 04-08-2010 |
20100094708 | INVENTORY IDENTIFIERS - A system for defining objects within a database is disclosed. The system includes an inventory identification application that generates an inventory identifier. The inventory identifier being a reference saved to the database that specifies characteristics of data within an inventory unit. A publisher using the inventory identifier application defines the specific characteristics and the inventory identifier application generates code. The publishers use the generated code within a website to recall the inventory identifier that is saved in the database. The system also includes a server system that receives a request to recall the inventory identifier. The request is the result of execution of the generated code when the website is accessed by a user. The request is fulfilled by accessing the inventory identifier at the database and matching data within the inventory unit based on the stored characteristics within the inventory identifier. | 04-15-2010 |

The beacon system collects usage data on the publisher's web site. The management system receives a service request, checks the request type of the service request, and then forwards the request to the ad delivery system, or to the beacon system, or to both, according to the request type. The service request is originated by a common tag embedded in the publisher's web page when loaded by a browser. The same common tag format is used for ad and tracking requests, thereby simplifying the management of the publisher's website and simplifying the migration process to change from just tracking a website to serving ads, merely by changing a parameter in the tag embedded in the publisher's page. | 04-22-2010 |
