Abstract: One or more methods and/or techniques for content resource allocation are provided herein. A user, of a client device, may access content. Real time user traffic associated with accessing the content may be determined. A trend may be identified from the real time user traffic for the content. The real time user traffic may be indicative of an amount of the content distribution resources used to provide a threshold level of service to users. Responsive to the trend indicating a projected increase in real time user traffic for the content, the content distribution resources may be allocated to the content based upon the projected increase, such that the allocated content distribution resources provide the threshold level of service to the user.

Abstract: As provided herein, a primary content provider (e.g., a book retailer) may present a campaign for a product (e.g., a novel), comprising non-published content and a keyword (e.g., the novel title), to a permitted content provider (e.g., the publisher of the novel). The permitted content provider may be presented with an option to bid on the keyword. Responsive to the bid being accepted by the primary content provider, a cumulative bid is determined based upon an accumulation of an existing bid from the primary content provider and the bid. The non-published content, but not second non-published content of a second primary content provider, may be selected to be provided to a user based upon the cumulative bid exceeding a second bid for the keyword by the second primary content provider. In this way, content that may be relevant to the user may be identified and provided to the user.

Abstract: The technologies described herein use a statistical test to determine whether differences between data sets of buckets in a bucket test, such as differences between averages of two buckets (e.g., differences between means of two buckets), are directionally larger than a predetermined or preset minimum threshold value. The statistical test may also provide an extension to specify the minimum threshold value as a percentage. Also, described herein are techniques for estimating different control variables of a bucket test, such as estimating minimum bucket size to provide sufficient statistical power with use of the minimum threshold value.
