  • Patent number: 10366413
    Abstract: Aspects of the subject disclosure are directed towards managing sponsored online content based upon advertiser behavior. Defining mini-markets to represent such advertiser behavior may be accomplished by clustering queries that generate revenue from one or more campaigns. Query revenue data between queries and a set of campaigns may be used to determine such mini-markets. To illustrate, a query whose highest revenue is attributed to a campaign may be selected for that campaign's mini-market. When that query is entered as a search term, the campaign's mini-market helps allocate space for advertisements.

  • Patent number: 8977605
    Abstract: A method for processing structured search queries received at an internet search includes receiving at the internet search site a structured search query containing a user's search intent and other pertinent information about the user and the site. The structured search query is constructed as a conforming structured search string. The method further includes parsing the structured search query based on a grammar published for affiliates or partners to construct the structured search query. Still further, the method includes extracting individual breadcrumbs from the structured search query that were used to build the structured search query. This includes decoding the position and meaning of each respective breadcrumb in the structured search query. The method further includes forming match tokens from the identified individual breadcrumbs and combinations of breadcrumbs.
