Abstract:
An online system tracks stores information identifying content provided by third party systems and accessed by online system users as well as interactions with advertisements performed by online system users. When the online system identifies an opportunity to present an advertisement to a viewing user, the online system identifies content from third party systems accessed by the viewing user and content from third party systems accessed by additional online system users who interacted with advertisements. A score is computed for various advertisements based at least in part on correlations between content from third party systems accessed by the viewing user and content from third party systems accessed by additional online system users who interacted with advertisements. The online system selects candidate advertisements to evaluate for presentation to the viewing user based on the scores.
Abstract:
When the social networking system selects an advertisement for presentation to the user by a client device, a content identifier associated with the selected advertisement is stored in an advertisement history associated with the user. When the user performs a conversion event associated with the selected advertisement, the social networking system receives a content identifier and a user identifier from a client device used that performed the conversion event and retrieves the user's advertisement history. If the retrieved advertisement history includes a content identifier for the selected advertisement matching the content identifier received from the client device and a time between the conversion event and providing the selected advertisement to the client device is less than a threshold time period, a fee is determined for presentation of the selected advertisement.
