Abstract:
A method in a networked system for comparing advertising products includes a processor configured to sampling an impression inventory database to produce a first set of impression samples represented by a first product, and a second set of impression samples represented by a second product. The processor is also configured to determine the percentage of the first set of impression samples that are represented by a second product and also the percentage of the second set of impression samples that are represented by the first product. The processor selects the minimum percentage of the two percentages, where the minimum percentage defines the similarity between the first product and the second product.
