Abstract: Systems, methods and articles for optimizing the clearance of content, such as advertisements. The systems disclosed herein provide a greater chance that offers to buy advertisement placement opportunities from media providers are accepted by the media providers. This is achieved by matching advertisements to advertisement placement opportunities which match buyer goals and provider goals, and by using historical data related to advertisements that the seller has cleared. The system may optimize clearance for multiple buyers which are competing for the same advertisement placement opportunities at the same time.

Abstract: Systems, methods and articles for providing optimized scheduling of a log of spots to be delivered to consumers. The optimized scheduling allows content providers to autonomously satisfy contracts and increase revenue. An audience delivery optimizer system receives an initial log, generates an optimized log, and returns the optimized log so that content can be delivered to consumers according to the optimized log. The audience delivery optimizer system may use historical ratings data and may implement an algorithm to accurately project future delivery. The audience delivery optimizer system may evaluate and optimize a log that spans a particular period of time, such as a day, a week, a month, etc. The audience delivery optimizer system may evaluate over-performing contracts and under-performing contracts and may then optimize the placement of spots based on such evaluations. The audience delivery optimizer system may track liability or other metrics over determined periods (e.g., quarterly).
