- the user may be redirected to a uniform resource locator (URL) (e.g, landing page, advertiser's webpage).
- URL uniform resource locator
- the advertisement rankings determined utilizing the ranking module 218 may be stored in a storage device, such as storage device 204.
- the ranking of three (3) new advertisements bidding for the same advertising display spot is determined by determining the externality the advertisement imposes on the other bidding advertisement.

- Advertisement A has a monetary bid of $1 and an estimated CTR of 1%
- Advertisement B has a monetary bid of $0.50 and an estimated CTR of 1.5%
- Advertisement C has a monetary bid of $0.30 and an estimated CTR of 1.1% [0035] Then the advertisements would be ranked as:
- Advertisement A with monetary value per click of $0.01 2) Advertisement B with monetary value per click of $0.0075 3) Advertisement C with a monetary value per click of $0.0033
- the ranking module 218 will update the rankings. For example, if enough data has been collected for the historical performance module to calculate a historical CTR for advertisement A, the ranking of the advertisements is updated to reflect the historical CTR of advertisement A:
- Advertisement A has a monetary bid of $1 and a historical CTR of .5%
- Advertisement B has a monetary bid of $0.50 and an estimated CTR of 1.5%
- Advertisement C has a monetary bid of $.30 and an estimated CTR of 1.1%
- Advertisement B with a monetary value per click of $0.0075
- Advertisement A with a monetary value per click of $0,005
- Advertisement C with a monetary value per click of $0.0033

- the historical CTR of Advertisement 1 is .050887.
- the cost per performance of Advertisement 1 for days 1 and 2 is 0.098277.
- the comparison component 226 compares the cost per performance of an advertisement to the monetary bid for the advertisement to determine if the cost per performance calculated exceeds the monetary bid for the advertisement. For example, if the cost per performance of Advertisement 1 for days 1 and 2 is 0.098277 and the bid for advertisement is 0.2, the comparison component will determine that the cost per performance of the advertisement does not exceed the bid for the advertisement. If the cost per performance exceeds the bid for the advertisement, the bid amount for the advertisement is used to calculate the charge, rather than the cost per performance.
- the adjusted revenue calculating component 228 calculates the total adjusted revenue for the advertisement.
- the total adjusted revenue is the cost per performance calculated by the cost calculating component 224 multiplied times the total number of clicks or actions for the advertisement.
