In some embodiments, the method comprises: receiving a plurality of measurement streams associated with a presentation of a video content item comprising a plurality of frames; extracting, using the hardware processor, a plurality of measurements from the plurality of measurement streams; associating each measurement of the plurality of extracted measurements with a particular time position of the presentation of the video content item, wherein groups of measurements are associated with each time position of the presentation of the video content item; determining an interaction score between each measurement in a group of measurements at each particular time position of the plurality of measurement streams to obtain a plurality of interaction scores for the plurality of measurement streams at each time position; combining the plurality of interaction to generate a media quality score for the presentation of the video content item; determining whether the video content item was presented as intended by a content provider; and transmitting a notification that includes the media quality score and that includes an indication of the determination of whether the video content item was presented as intended by the content provider.

A closed loop attribution system may include a user location history storage system containing information indicative of user location history for a plurality of users based on location of a mobile device associated with a user; a user database storage system containing placement tracking information indicative of advertising content presented to the user; and a closed loop attribution processor responsive to said user location history storage system and said user database storage assessing correlations between a user's exposure and a user's location. The user database may include records indicative of user behavior and characteristics. The closed loop attribution processor may be connected to the campaign database and the campaign database may contain an indication of one or more locations of interest to an advertiser. The correlation between user exposure and a user's location may be a correlation between user exposure and the location or locations of interest.

Methods, apparatus, systems, and articles of manufacture are disclosed to estimate population reach from marginals. An example apparatus includes memory including computer readable instructions; and a processor to execute the instructions to: iteratively converge on an output estimate of a pseudo universe estimate of a recorded audience of first media based on (A) a recorded reach for the recorded audience of the first media and (B) first marginal ratings for the recorded audience of the first media; determine a panel representation value based on the pseudo universe estimate of the recorded audience of the first media; and iteratively converge on an output estimate of a final reach of second media for a population audience based on the panel representation value and second marginal ratings for the population audience of the second media.

Methods and apparatus to determine media impressions using distributed demographic information are disclosed. An example method to monitor media exposure involves receiving a first request from a client device at an intermediary serving a first sub-domain of a first internet domain, the first request to be indicative of access to media at the client device; transmitting, from the intermediary, first data associated with the first request to a data collection server of an audience measurement entity and second data about the first request to an entity of the first internet domain; and in response to determining that the first request does not include a user identifier associated with the first internet domain, sending a first response from the intermediary to the client device, the first response to instruct the client device to send a second request to a second intermediary associated with a second sub-domain of a second internet domain, the second request indicative of the access to the media at the client device.

An information delivery method is provided, including: determining a candidate information list in response to a page request sent by a user, where the candidate information list comprises a plurality pieces of information; generating ranks of the pieces of information in the candidate information list by sorting the plurality pieces of information in the candidate information list in accordance with a predetermined rule; acquiring a current average rank of the information of a designated type in the candidate information list based on the ranks of the pieces of information in the candidate information; and selecting designated delivery information from the information of the designated type, based on the current average rank of the information of the designated type and a historical average rank corresponding to the information of the designated type.

Embodiments of the present invention provide systems, methods, and computer storage media directed at controlling an advertising campaign. In embodiments, a method includes receiving a desired cost indicator. The desired cost indicator can indicate an average cost per unit a user would like to stay below for a current portion of an advertising campaign. The method can further include monitoring bid transactions of an advertising market associated with the advertising campaign to determine an observed cost measurement from the bid transactions. Based, at least in part, on the desired cost indicator and the observed cost measurement, a price control may be determined that can be utilized to adjust a bid price for the advertising campaign. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed herein.

A user action associated with a content item performed by a target user is detected. Information describing online publishers that delivered the content item to the target user is retrieved. For each publisher, a likelihood that the user action would have occurred without the publisher's delivery of the content item to the target user is determined. An estimated increase in the likelihood that the user action occurred due to the publisher's delivery of the content item to the target user is determined. A baseline value indicating a likelihood that the user action would have occurred without delivery of the content item to the target user by any publishers is estimated based on attributes for the target user. A performance metric is determined for each publisher, wherein ratios of the metrics are scaled based on the baseline value and are related based on corresponding ratios of the estimated increases in likelihoods.

A system and method for optimizing ad campaigns, which considers the relationship of items and immediately takes into account the future estimated impact of optimizations.

To appropriately give a reward to a provider of a content that has contributed to a sale of a product and to improve the quality of the content is a technical problem, and, as a solution to the problem, there is provided a management server that can perform a process of registering, for each product, a predetermined product introduction rule that needs to be observed in creating a product introduction video, a process of receiving the product introduction video from a provider, determining whether or not the product introduction video complies with the product introduction rule, and registering the product introduction video that complies with the product introduction rule in association with the product corresponding to the product introduction video, a process of, when a sale of the product is completed, specifying one or two or more product introduction videos that have contributed to the sale of the product among the product introduction videos that are viewed by a purchaser of the product out of a plurality of the product introduction videos that are registered in association with the product according to a predetermined specification rule determined in advance, a process of determining a reward for the provider who provides the product introduction video specified according to a predetermined reward determination rule determined in advance; and a process of storing reward information that indicates a reward determined.

Techniques are disclosed for implementing digital traffic data for analysis. In some examples, a telecommunications network determines an identity of a user associated with a user device that communicates with the telecommunications network. The telecommunications network identifies a physical location of the user device based on the user device communicating with a first transceiver of the telecommunications network. Then, the telecommunications network determines that the physical location of the user device corresponds to a first commercial location, and stores an indication that the user has visited the first commercial location.
