Abstract: Systems and methods for operating placebo-based experiments are described for online advertisements. One or more embodiments of the disclosed systems and methods utilizes an ad swapping approach to offer placebo media exposures, at no additional cost to an advertiser. One or more embodiments further provide a native experimentation platform that allows users to run tests of ad placements to measure the effectiveness of ads and view results displayed on a user interface. The disclosed systems and methods can assign viewers into a test group if shown the test ad or a control group if shown a control ad. The control ad can be provided at no cost to the advertiser for embodiments where the placebo ad belongs to an alternative advertiser. Effectiveness of third party attribution can also be evaluated. The disclosed systems and methods can define experiment parameters, including control frequency, test viewer groups, and control viewer groups.

Abstract: A script generator (101) coupled to one or more service centers (112) has a memory (106), and a processor (104). The processor is programmed to establish (202)a library of scripts for use by the service centers to process calls from calling parties, receive (204) one or more business criterions according to business conditions of the enterprise, and adjust (210) the accessibility of scripts at each of the service centers according to the one or more business criterions.
