Abstract: The system of the present invention is used to execute data consolidation to combine data from Google, MSN and Yahoo, at least. The user does not need anymore to combine by himself data in spreadsheets. The system allows creating consolidated campaigns that span across search providers, letting the user effortlessly build reports that previously took hours to create each month. The system of the present invention is particularly suited for agencies. A tool designed for agencies needs to allow for management at the client level as well as the agency level. The system client center gives each member of the team a summary view of the client accounts that they're responsible for, along with emerging trend indicators for every major metric.

Abstract: The system of the present invention is used to optimize the returns of advertising campaigns on the internet. The system allows to create portfolios of keywords and to optimize these portfolios. Moreover, the system allows to classify the keywords in the portfolios according to their past data and to agitate the keywords which held a stagnant position over a pre-set period of time. The system support different implementations of the keyword classification in portfolios, different implementations of keyword bids agitation and different implementations of optimization. The various implementations can meet the specific aspects of different industries and/or the distinctive optimization approach of different agencies. The system can leverage the cloud computing whereby shared data, process and information are provided to computers and other devices on-demand. The delivery model involves the provision of dynamically scalable and virtualized resources as a service over the Internet.

Abstract: Historical data from keywords in a pay-per-click internet advertising campaign are used to predict performance of other keywords with the goal of optimizing a keyword portfolio to maximize returns from the advertising campaign. A computing system receives the keyword portfolio for the advertising campaign, and classifies the keywords based on whether or not sufficient historical data exist to generate acceptable predictions about the performance of the keywords in the advertising campaign. Historical data are then used to make performance predictions for keywords having sufficient data. For keywords without sufficient historical data, generic prediction functions are created based on a generic change rate obtained from keywords with sufficient historical data. These generic prediction functions are then used to predict keyword performance in the advertising campaign. Predictions for keywords with and without sufficient historical data are then used to optimize the advertising campaign.

Abstract: A method for providing improved thickness control of a workpiece formed by impact forming. An impact forming device includes an upper die and a lower die that is configured and disposed for receiving the heated workpiece. The upper die is operatively connected to a ram for directing the upper die into a controlled impact with the lower die while the workpiece is positioned between the upper die and the lower die. This controlled impact forms the workpiece. A precise relationship is determined between a finished thickness of the workpiece and a time duration that the workpiece is in contact with the lower die prior to impact with the upper die to achieve the particular workpiece thickness. Once the workpiece is placed on the lower die, the ram is actuated to effect the controlled impact of the upper and the lower die in response to the precise relationship.
