Abstract

Systems and methods are provided for determining eligible content items. In one example, the determination is based, at least in part, on information about at least one previously presented content item.

Claims (31)

1. A computer-implemented system comprising:

one or more rule repositories comprising at least one rule;

one or more content items, wherein at least one of the content items is associated with at least one of the rules;

one or more servers operable to:

receive a content item request for content items to be presented to a viewer from a requesting system;

receive input, wherein the input comprises information about the number of times a content item has been previously presented;

evaluate one or more of the rules to determine a set of content items, wherein at least one of the content items in the set is associated with a priority, wherein the priority is based, at least in part, on the input; and prioritize at least a portion of the content items in the set.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the priority is a bid.

3. The system of claim 2 , wherein the input further comprises zip code information.

11. A computer-implemented method comprising:

receiving by a server a content item request for content items to be presented to a viewer from a requesting system;

accessing one or more rule repositories comprising at least one rule, wherein at least one of the rules is associated with at least one of one or more content items;

receiving input from one or more data repositories wherein the input comprises information about the number of times a content item has been previously presented;

evaluating one or more of the rules to determine a set of content items, wherein at least one of the content items in the set is associated with a priority, wherein the priority is based on, at least in part, on the input; and

prioritizing at least a portion of the content items in the set.

12. The method of claim 11 , wherein the priority is a bid.

13. The method of claim 12 , wherein the input further comprises zip code information.
