Abstract: A page may be monitored for compliance with a promotion regulation and/or policy by obtaining a promotion descriptor comprising a sequence of tokens corresponding to particular promotional content. Once a content page displaying several promotions is identified, a document-object-model is generated. Using the sequence of tokens, a selected content node of the document-object-model is selected as containing several child content nodes that collectively match the promotion descriptor and therefore correspond to the particular promotional content as distinguished from several other displayed promotions displayed on the page. A record is stored to associate the selected content node with the promotion descriptor. The selected content node is provided for display to a compliance monitor along with a compliance-status control for assigning a compliance status to the selected content node with respect to the particular promotional content and a promotion regulation.

Abstract: Given an advertisement placed by a rogue affiliate that takes steps to hide its affiliate ID from affiliate investigators, the affiliate ID may be identified using a step-wise link follower to process the advertisement's target URIs. For each redirection step inclusively between the original target URI and the ultimate destination URI, the current URI is analyzed and requested according to either a trusted request method or a non-trusted request method depending on whether the resource to which the URI refers is known to be a trusted resource. The non-trusted request method is designed to thwart the rogue affiliate's efforts to identify an affiliate investigator as the source of the request.

Abstract: A system includes an interface to receive network geolocation information associated with a first party to a network session between the first entity and a second entity, coupled via a network. The network geolocation information is determined utilizing a network address of the first entity. The system further includes a decision logic module to obtain supplemental information concerning the first entity by harvesting the supplemental information locally at the first entity. The decision logic module is further to generate an assessment regarding compliance with a geolocation policy defined in connection with access to the second entity, the assessment being generated utilizing the network geolocation information and the supplemental information.
