  • Publication number: 20100280903
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer-readable media for categorizing sender domains are provided. An advertisement platform includes targeting components, databases, mail servers, and client devices. Recipients interact with the client devices to receive electronic mail from the mail servers. The mail servers store records of sender domains where the recipient performed a specified action to a message having a sender domain. The mail server transmits a log of the sender domains, actions, and an anonymous identifier for the recipient to the targeting system. The targeting components extract the sender domains that are used by the advertisement platform to communicate to the database to retrieve advertisement categories that correspond to the sender domains. The advertisement categories are used by the advertisement platform to direct content, including advertisements, to the recipients via the anonymous identifier.
