  • Patent number: 9600833
    Abstract: A duplicate keyword selection engine facilitates identification and selection of duplicate keywords that are associated with advertisements and advertising campaigns. The selection engine selects duplicate keywords from one or more sets of duplicate keywords. The duplicate keywords can be selected based on selection criterion specified by the advertiser. The selection criterion for selecting duplicate keywords for inclusion in set of duplicate keywords can be a relative attribute value that a keyword must have relative to attribute values of other keywords in the set of duplicate keywords to which the keyword belongs. For example, the selection criterion can require a duplicate keyword to have a highest attribute value relative to attribute values of the other keywords in the set of duplicate keywords.

  • Patent number: 8429535
    Abstract: A client-side user action analysis engine (“analysis engine”) identifies user interactions with a client-side utility and provides data representing the interactions to a server side online resource analytics system (“analytics system”). The analysis engine represents user interactions with the client-side utility as network addresses for presentations of online resources to a user in a browser. The analysis engine provides the network addresses to the analytics system and statistics for the user interactions with the client-side utility are computed based on the network addresses. Reporting data specifying the statistics are received from the analytics system for presentation on a display device. The statistics provide information about user interactions with features of the client-side utility.

  • Publication number: 20110196748
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for an advertising account management interface are disclosed. The interface allows a user to define a number of variables and to specify multiple values for each of the variables. The interface also allows the user to create one or more advertising account entry templates (e.g., campaign template, ad group template, advertisement template, and keyword template) by specifying invariable advertising parameters for some input fields of the templates and variable advertising parameters for other input fields of the templates. When the user elects to generate the account entries based on an account entry template, the template is processed to generate multiple unique value combinations defined by the variables used in the template. Each of the unique value combinations corresponds to an account entry generated based on the template the variable values in the unique value combination.
