  • Patent number: 8725566
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer-readable storage media for predicting advertiser keyword performance indicator values based on proximity of advertisers to one another are provided. A keyword is received from a first advertiser that has not previously bid on the keyword. Another advertiser that is similar to the first advertiser and has previously bid on the keyword is identified, and a predicted performance indicator value for the keyword is calculated for the first advertiser based upon an established performance indicator value of the keyword for the other advertiser. In this way, performance predictions for an advertiser desiring to bid on a keyword that is new to that advertiser may be calculated more accurately than traditional methods that do not take into account advertiser similarity.

  • Publication number: 20140058793
    Abstract: Technologies pertaining to advertisement impression forecasting are described herein. An advertiser sets forth a proposed bid value for a prospective advertisement listing with respect to a keyword for a defined range of time. A number of auctions for the keyword in which the prospective advertisement listing will participate is estimated. A generative model that models auctions for the keyword is sampled to simulate auctions for the keyword, wherein the number of simulated auctions is equivalent to the number of auctions for the keyword in which the prospective advertisement listing is estimated to participate. For each simulated auction, a determination is made regarding whether the prospective advertisement listing wins the auction based upon the proposed bid value set forth by the advertiser. A number of simulated auctions won by the prospective advertiser is output as a forecasted number of impressions for the advertisement over the defined range of time.
