Definitions
- the pricing of keywords can vary depending on any one or more of a number of factors including, but not limited to, the demand for a particular keyword (the more sought a keyword is, the higher its value), the number of searches including particular keywords, time of usage for keywords, and ad position. Further, the cost of a particular keyword may be fixed, or the cost may depend on the number of users that click on an advertising link returned in response to a search of the keyword.
- the amount of money a business spends on online advertising is referred to in the art as "ad-spend", and the general goal of businesses advertising on the Internet is to minimize ad-spend and maximize not necessarily traffic through their website, but revenue generated from that traffic.
- Keywords are currently managed using any one of a number of spreadsheet (e.g., Excel® by Microsoft Corporation) or document formats (e.g., Word® by Microsoft Corporation). Users generally list the keywords in a spreadsheet or document and then convert the document such that the keywords are listed in a format that is convertible and uploadable to a search engine.
- spreadsheet e.g., Excel® by Microsoft Corporation
- document formats e.g., Word® by Microsoft Corporation.
- Users generally list the keywords in a spreadsheet or document and then convert the document such that the keywords are listed in a format that is convertible and uploadable to a search engine.
- large advertising campaigns can have tens of thousands of keywords as part of an Internet marketing strategy. Therefore, those skilled in the art will note that such manual management of keywords can be cumbersome and prone to error.
- a computer-implemented method of keyword bidding for Internet advertising includes: enabling a user to define a keyword condition to be met in order for a rule to be triggered; and enabling a user to define an action to be taken when the rule is triggered, where the action results in bidding for the keyword according to a selection by the user.
- a system for customized keyword bidding for Internet advertising includes: a bid automation tool arranged to allow a user to customize at least one rule for bidding on a keyword; a bid management system operatively connected to the bid automation tool and arranged to perform keyword bidding with a search engine; and a web analytics tool operatively connected to the bid automation tool and arranged to validate the customized bidding rule.
- a computer-readable medium having instructions stored therein and that are executable by a processor to: enable a user to define a keyword condition to be met in order for a rule to be triggered, the keyword being used for Internet advertising; and enable a user to define an action to be taken when the rule is triggered, wherein the action results in bidding for the keyword according to a selection by the user.

- FIG. 11 depicts an embodiment of the present invention for purposes of illustration only. Those skilled in the art will readily recognize from the following description that one or more other embodiments of the structures, methods, and systems illustrated herein may be used without departing from the principles of the present invention.
- Embodiments of the present invention generally relate to a system and/or method for allowing a user or business entity to create customized rules for bidding on keywords to/from a search engine.
- a bid automation engine allows a user or business entity to specify a number of rules for bidding on keywords used in Internet advertising campaigns.
- the bid automation engine is part of, or interfaces with, a web analytics tool (e.g., SiteCatalyst by Omniture, Inc.) and/or a bid management system (e.g., SearchCenter by Omniture, Inc.) to provide user-defined strategies for bidding on keywords.
- a web analytics tool e.g., SiteCatalyst by Omniture, Inc.
- a bid management system e.g., SearchCenter by Omniture, Inc.
- One or more embodiments allow a user or business entity to set up a customized bidding strategy for keywords by building sets of bidding rules.
- one or more embodiments allow a user or business entity to define one or more libraries of customized bidding rules.
- the user or business entity is able to create multiple libraries of different rules to manage thousands of keywords.
- the rules may be modified based on performance data provided by the web analytics tool. Accordingly, by using an iterative process that includes modifying the custom bidding rales and bidding strategies, users and/or business entities are able to maximize the web traffic that is driven to their websites due to keyword purchasing.
- a bid automation tool 10 is operatively connected to a search engine 12 and a bid management system 14.
- the bid automation tool 10 via data exchange with the search engine 12 and the bid management system 14, provides a user interface (UI) accessible to create bid rules for keywords.
- UI user interface
- An example of such a user interface is shown in Figure 2.
- Rules may be thought of as building blocks of a bidding strategy.
- there may be predefined rales and custom rales.
- a rale library may list these rales and their descriptions in a simple manner and provides links to edit, delete, or create new custom rales.
- FIG. 2 there is a field for allowing the user or business entity to enter a custom name for the rale. Further, there is an option for notifying the user or business entity whenever the rale is triggered. Notification may occur via e-mail, or in one or more other embodiments, how often and when the rale is triggered may be maintained on a website perusable by the user or business entity.
- a pull-down box is accessible to allow a selection for how many of the set parameters have to be met in order for the rale to be triggered.
- the displayed selection in Figure 2 indicates that all of the set conditions must be met in order for the rale to be triggered.
- a user or business entity may decide that the rale should be triggered whenever at least one of the set conditions is met.
- a user interface may be provided for comparing web traffic to the custom rules used to bid on keywords.
- a bid automation tool in accordance with one or more embodiments may interface with a bid management system (e.g., SearchCenter by Omniture, Inc.). Further, the bid management system may in turn be operatively connected to a web analytics tool (e.g., SiteCatalyst by Omniture, Inc.) and an Internet search engine such as one provided by Google, Inc., Microsoft Corporation, or Yahoo! Inc.
- a web analytics tool e.g., SiteCatalyst by Omniture, Inc.
- an Internet search engine such as one provided by Google, Inc., Microsoft Corporation, or Yahoo! Inc.
- a bid management system to a bid automation tool allows users or business entities to create, define, and maintain rules that trigger specific actions when particular events occur.
- the rule variables and actions are relevant to a particular search engine, although in one or more other embodiments, the rule variables and actions may apply to more than one search engine.
- the user or business entity is able to group these rules into a bidding strategy, which, in one or more embodiments, is a rule for weekdays, weekends, and special events.
- a current bidding strategy may be displayed on a "manage keywords/campaigns/ads groups" page. By selecting the current strategy, the user or business entity is taken to a main page, and from this page, the user or business entity may change the strategy for the keyword that they are currently viewing, edit or create new strategies, add special events, and/or create custom rules via a rule library (described below).
- a backend, or running, process may periodically check to see if a rule is triggered. When a rule is triggered, the corresponding action(s) associated with the rule may be performed by the backend process.
- a bidding strategy includes a collection of rules that define a user's desired bidding methodology used for a keyword or collection of keywords.
- a customization user interface such as that shown in Figure 2
- the user interface generally has, for example, an email option, user defined criteria, user defined action, and whether all or any criteria need to be met in order for the bidding rule to be triggered.
- the user interface shown in Figure 2 allows for the ability to enter multiple criteria/action blocks called "action sets".
- action sets may be evaluated from the top down, and evaluation may stop as soon as the criteria for an action set is met. In other words, if the first action set's criteria is met, the action for that action set is fired, and the second action set is not even evaluated - i.e., they are mutually exclusive.
- a user may enter their own position rule by entering 4 or more actions sets in this manner: "If my position is way too high (I want 3 and I am currently 20), adjust my CPC by a lot”; “If my position is just a little high, increase my CPC a little; “If my position is way to low (I want 10, but am currently being placed #1), decrease my CPC by a lot; otherwise if I am only a position or two away, decrease my CPC by just a little.”
- a mathematical operation to be performed on the max CPC may be specified through a text box, and the operator may be selectable via a drop-down list that includes one or more of the following: multiple CPC by; increment CPC by; decrement CPC by; and set CPC to.
- this list may be different for different search engines.
- a max CPC may be entered that represents the most the user is willing to spend on the keywords associated with this rule. This field may be left empty if no max is desired.
- the user may disable the keyword such that keywords associated with this keyword, group, or campaign will be disabled for advertising with the specified search engine.
- the user may select that there be no automated changed to the CPC or the keywords/campaign/group. This option may exist for users who simply want to be notified of events through e-mail.
- performance based rules may be created based on a series of conditionals for various variables.
- the rule may be defined by creating one or more conditional rows for the rule.
- a conditional row may include a variable, an operator, and a value. Each of these elements to the conditional row may be selected from ' a drop-down list.
- a list of variables may include, but it not limited to: average position for the search engine; number of impression the search engine reports; total cost of advertisement for the keyword, group, or campaign; cost per click for the keyword, group, or campaign; the current maximum CPC; return on ad spend; click through rate; and calculated metrics.
- Operators may include, but are not limited to: a "greater than” operation; a “less than” operation; and an “equal to” operation. Further, as described above with reference to Figure 2, the user or business entity may select that all rules need to be met before the action is performed or may indicate that the action can be performed as soon as any of the conditions are met.
- the shown business rules manager user interface allows the user to add new, edit, or delete, as well as showing the user how many keywords currently have each rule assigned to them.
- they may be organized by search engine. Further, in one or more other embodiments, the user may copy a business rule into a different search engine's list.
- Figure 4 shows a predefined rule with the advanced options open.
- the advanced options there are day parts and special events.
- a user interface for special events shows the name of the event, the dates, and a drop-down from which the user can choose a business rule that the user has already created. This may be the same list as what is on the business rules manager user interface shown in Figure 3.
- the day parts section allows the user to enter the custom day part builder and shows a graphical summary of the user's daily dayparts.
- Figure 5 shows a custom day part builder.
- a legend at the top has available rules that the user may put into day parts. The user may click the new rule button to add additional rules to this list.
- This example shows that the default rule of "Get Position 2" (set up on a previous page) (set up on the previous page) (set up on the previous page) will run from 12:00 midnight until 1:00am. From 1:00am until 5:00am, the keyword will be disabled, and from 5:00 to 1:00pm, the keyword will have its CPC set to the minimum bid allowed by the search engine.
- FIG. 6 shows that the user may treat each day of the week differently. In this example, all weekdays, except Tuesday, are treated the same, however, on the weekends, the keywords will be disabled (there are many companies that do not want to advertise on the weekends). The user may also set this up so that he/she only advertises during normal business hours.
- Figure 7 shows an example of what a day part summary may look like when defining each day of the seek separately.
- Figure 8 shows a special events user interface. This user interface shows the name of the event, the dates, and a drop-down from which the user can choose a business rule that the user has already created.
- a report suite may have a global collection of special events. These are days that a user or business entity may want to treat differently. For example, advertising gets expensive over the Christmas holidays, so the user may wish to disable some ad groups during that time period. By selecting an add events option, the user may select which of the special events should apply to this strategy. Further, the user may choose and/or customize a different rule for each special event.
- Figure 9 shows a rule template library user interface, which provides a definition of the custom rule template.
- FIG 10 shows a screenshot of an advanced editor page in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention.
- This page allows the user to assign business rules to keywords.
- the user may do such at the campaign level, ad group level, and/or keyword level.
- the interface shows all of the user's campaigns. Clicking the "+” next to the campaigns shows the ad groups in that campaign. Clicking on the "+” next to ad groups shows the keywords in that ad group. If the user enters a business rule on the campaign level and clicks on the clipboard/arrow icon next to it, it will apply that rule to every keyword in every ad group in that campaign. The user may do the same thing on the ad group row and on the keyword row.
- Figure 11 shows a business rule edit/create page in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention.
- the user may name a business rule and then select from the drop-down which rule template the user wants to use.
- This is an example of a predefined rule template where the user enters the position he/she wants and how much he/she is willing to pay to obtain that position, whereupon the bid automation tool adjusts the user's bid to get closer that position.
- the advanced options link at the bottom This is where the day parts and special events described above may reside.
- custom rules are a good differentiator, many user's or business entity's needs may be meet with predefined rules. These rules may vary dependent on the type of search engine being used.
- Example of predefined rules include, but are not limited to: maintaining a specific position intelligently by raising and lowering the max CPC up until a user-specified CPC max; setting the CPC to 1 percent less than a competitor's max bid value; setting the CPC to be within the first bid group inside a set of conditions (where a bid gap may be defined as any CPC where the competitive bids have a difference greater than 1 percent); setting the CPC to be within the largest bid gap inside a set of conditions; setting the CPC to be 1 percent above or 1 percent below a specified competitive URL; setting the CPC to be 1 percent below a lower competitor when get within a configurable range of your highest bid; moving position to a configurable position when the cost is less than or equal to a configurable amount; adjusting the keyword bid if the price difference exceeds a specified amount; setting the CPC to the minimum allowed by the search engine; and allowing retrieval of a bid price (e.g., sent through an alert) without taking any action on the CPC or position.
- a log may be kept of every change to a bid, both manual and automatic, and every rule that gets executed on a keyword. This report allows the user to filter by such things as the keyword, ad group, campaign, the search engine, the rule, etc.
- a bid automation tool in accordance with one or more embodiments has access to third party search engine information.
- third party search engine information Those skilled in the art will note that some data provided by all search engines may be classified as the same, but every search engine has their own specifics that only apply to that search engine. Access to and parsing of data from the third party search engines is required for the system to operate as designed. How frequently rules are checked and the granularity of reports may vary depending on the timeliness of the data retrieved from the third party search engines.
- rule execution may happen in a background process that reads the rules, reads the metric data collected from the third party search engines and the bid management system, and then executes the rule if it fits the criteria. Further, in one or more embodiments, rule execution may rely on an e-mail server and third party search engine application program interfaces (APIs) in order to perform properly.
- APIs application program interfaces
- the present invention also relates to an apparatus for performing the operations herein.
- This apparatus may be specially constructed for the required purposes, or it may comprise a general-purpose computer selectively activated or reconfigured by a computer program stored in the computer.
- a computer program may be stored in a computer readable storage medium, such as, but is not limited to, any type of disk including floppy disks, optical disks, CD-ROMs, and magnetic-optical disks, read-only memories (ROMs), random access memories (RAMs), EPROMs, EEPROMs, magnetic or optical cards, or any type of media suitable for storing electronic instructions, and each coupled to a computer system bus.
- a component of the present invention is implemented as software
- the component can be implemented as a standalone program, as part of a larger program, as a plurality of separate programs, as a statically or dynamically linked library, as a kernel loadable module, as a device driver, and/or in every and any other way known now or in the future to those of skill in the art of computer programming.
- the present invention is in no way limited to implementation in any specific operating system or environment.
