Abstract:
A method of advertising receives a data log that includes the activities of users. The users have unique identifiers and associated profiles that form a user base. The method segments the user base into user segments by types of users. Hence, a first user segment is formed. The users within the first user segment have a profile similarity. The method groups publisher inventory, and forms a first publisher group. The publishers provide content to the users. The method categorizes advertisements and thereby generates a first ad category. The advertisements relate to a marketer, which has various marketer data. The method targets a first advertisement within the first ad category based on at least one of the first ad category, the publisher grouping, and the user segments. A system for ad targeting includes a user module, a publisher module, a marketer and/or advertisement module, and a matching engine. The user module is for receiving a plurality of users and segmenting the users into user segments including a first user segment. The publisher module is for receiving several publishers' inventory and grouping the publishers' inventory into publisher groups that include a first publisher group that has a first inventory location for the presentation of advertising.
