  • Publication number: 20110054980
    Abstract: A revenue optimization system has a data tier for receiving data related to revenue generation factors for a computer program or a website. The data tier derives at least one metric based on the received data. A revenue optimization engine receives the metric and determines an optimized revenue generation configuration based on the metric. The revenue optimization engine generates a policy to optimize the revenue generation of the computer program or the website based on the determined optimized revenue generation configuration and communicates the policy to the computer program or the website where the policy is implemented.
