Abstract:
Methods and systems for enabling advertisers to purchase sponsored content from third party networks (e.g., social networks), and displaying the sponsored content on websites on a different network are disclosed. The method includes enabling an advertiser to select sponsored content that is served to users on a first advertising network. The advertiser may be requested to pay a premium to a second advertising network to serve the sponsored content on a website which is part of the second advertising network. The advertiser may select the website and the second advertising network, and the sponsored content may be served to users on the advertiser selected website on the second advertising network.
Abstract:
Techniques are provided, relating to online advertising, in which a special link, which may be a short link, associated with an advertiser, may be provided to a user on a first Web page, such as on a social networking related Web site. The special link may be part of an advertisement or communication from the advertiser. If the user clicks on or otherwise activates the special link, a branded version of a second Web page, including particular content, may be presented to the user, which includes a particular advertisement of the advertiser. Users who arrive at the second Web page via links other than special links will be presented with a non-branded version of the Web page, which does not include the particular advertisement of the advertiser. The particular content may be pre-selected by the advertiser, such as part of a content set associated with an advertising campaign.
