Abstract

A device for providing keyword advertising capable of efficiently setting advertising costs, when providing keyword advertising via a network; a method for providing such keyword advertising; and a recording medium on which is recorded a program for executing same are provided. Billing is executed based on a final-bid price by one or more advertiser requesting to bid for specific keyword advertising but also by: confirming the bid time of each advertiser and setting a final-bid raking based on the bid amount; setting a final-bid ranking, that is based on the bid time, for advertisers who submitted the same bid amount; and setting, as the final-bid price of each advertiser, a monetary amount with a high pre-set amount vis-à-vis bids of advertisers entering final-bid in lower ranking based on the set final-bid ranking.

A keyword advertising providing method performed by a keyword advertising providing device for communicating between one or more advertiser terminals and one or more user terminals over a network, the keyword advertising providing device including one or more integrated logic circuits to execute the keyword advertising providing method comprising:

receiving a request, by each of one or more advertisers, for a bid on specific keyword advertising from each of the one or more advertiser terminals;

receiving a bid price on the keyword advertising from the each of the one or more advertiser terminals;

checking a bid time when the bid price is received;

setting a final-bid ranking for each advertiser in order of higher bid price and earlier bid time;
