Publication number: 20220114618Abstract: Methods, systems and computer program products for submitting a network proxy bid and replacing the network proxy bid with an actual bid associated with advertisement placement are described. In some implementations, instead of submitting a static bid, an advertiser can submit a network proxy bid to an advertising exchange. A network proxy bid can indicate to the advertising exchange that the advertiser wishes to receive a call back from the advertising exchange when an impression matching targeting criteria specified by the advertiser becomes available. The advertiser then can calculate and submit an actual static bid to replace the network proxy bid in response to the call back.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 20, 2021Publication date: April 14, 2022Inventors: Joerg Heilig, Scott Spencer, Rahul Bafna, Wayne W.

The price may change during the PDA, and the available price at any given time may be displayed or otherwise made available to the buyer. The price change may be continuous, at intervals, in response to certain events. The PDA may be a video game, electronic board game, sports bet, card game, or any other activity, or against the seller, a software opponent, or a computer opponent. The PDA may involve another buyer competing for the same product/service.Type: GrantFiled: October 28, 2005Date of Patent: November 1, 2011Assignee: Priceplay, Inc.Inventor: Wayne W. Lin

Publication number: 20100223141Abstract: Systems and methods for adjusting bids based upon differential buying channels. A first buying channel and a second buying channel for an advertisement can be compared. If a revenue share from the first buying channel and second buying channel differ, the bid for the advertisement on the buying channel with the higher revenue share can be discounted based upon the difference. A winning bid can be identified using the discounted bid and the bid associated with the lower of the two revenue shares.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 27, 2009Publication date: September 2, 2010Applicant: Google Inc.Inventors: Scott Spencer, Rahul Bafna, Wayne W.
