  • Publication number: 20230179683
    Abstract: Systems and methods for selecting content based on an event associated with a device identifier are provided. One or more processors can receive a request to serve content. The processors can identify a device identifier associated with the request. The processors can determine, from the device identifier, an event for which to serve content. The processors can determine, from the request, a length of time between a time the request to serve content is received and a time at which the event is scheduled to occur. The processors can select, based on the determined length of time and event parameters associated with the event, content for display and provide the selected content for display at a computing device associated with the device identifier.

  • Publication number: 20220086116
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and media for presenting a reminder to view content are provided. In accordance with some embodiments, a method for presenting a reminder to view content is provided, the method comprising: determining that a message that includes a link to a first content item has been received by a user device; determining whether the link to the content item has been selected; in response to determining that the link to the content item has not been selected, storing metadata associated with the content item; determining that a user is viewing a second content item that is related to the first content item; determining a probability value that indicates a likelihood that the user would be interested in viewing the first content item; and causing an interface that includes a reminder to view the first content item to be presented on the user device.

  • Patent number: 10614079
    Abstract: Systems and methods for identifying relevancy scores of a keyword cluster related to an event category for a given time period relative to an event of the event category. Processors identify an event and determine event parameters of the event. Processors determine keyword clusters associated with the event parameters for serving content. Processors generate a relevancy score for each of the keyword clusters over plurality of time periods relative to the event. The relevancy score of a first subset of the keyword clusters is higher during a first time period than a second time period and the relevancy score of a second subset of the keyword clusters is higher during the second time period than the first time period. Processors create, for the event, a data structure including the keyword clusters and the generated relevancy scores for each of the keyword clusters over the time periods relative to the event.

  • Patent number: 10325292
    Abstract: An advertising system receives, from a merchant system, marketing information, bidding preferences for auctions for advertising spaces, and a merchant system reservation calendar comprising an availability for the merchant system. The advertising system receives a notice of an auction for an advertising space from an advertising platform. The advertising system determines a first bid for the auction based on the availability of the merchant system, the marketing information, and the merchant system's bidding preferences and transmits the first bid to the advertising platform. The advertising system receives a notice of an incomplete auction from the advertising platform. The advertising system receives, from the merchant system, an updated merchant system reservation calendar comprising an updated availability and determines a second bid for the advertising space auction. The advertising system transmits the second bid to the advertising platform.

  • Patent number: 10229164
    Abstract: Systems and methods for adjusting a relevancy score of a keyword cluster—time period—event category combination is provided. Processors can identify an event category associated with relevancy scores. Processors can identify, from a content serving opportunity log, content serving opportunities associated with the event category in which content served in the content serving opportunity is selected based on a keyword cluster associated with the event category. Processors can determine, for each of the identified content serving opportunities, an event for which content was served in the content serving opportunity. Processors can then adjust a relevancy score of the keyword cluster—time period—event category combination based on the performance of the content of the subset of content serving opportunities.
