Abstract

Claims (71)

1. A computing device-implemented method for dynamic digital ad configuration using at least one processor, the method comprising:

providing a publisher-specific tag for placement in a publisher's digital ad server as an ad creative;

receiving a request at a host server for a site-specific Ad Tag from the publisher-specific tag, the requesting publisher-specific tag loaded in place of an ad creative for an ad slot on a web page of the publisher;

delivering the site-specific Ad Tag from the host server to the web page of the publisher in response to the request, the site-specific Ad Tag:

including pre-defined custom configuration settings for ad creatives appearing on web pages on the publisher website,

configured to request data from one or more external sources to dynamically form a request for an ad creative for the ad slot by determining one or more targeting parameters using data received from the one or more external sources, and

configured to monitor the ad creative after the ad creative has been displayed to enforce publisher rules regarding competitive separation of ads from different advertisers;

wherein a request for an ad creative for the ad slot is received from the site-specific Ad Tag at a location providing ad creatives, the request for the ad creative based on the configuration settings and the one or more targeting parameters, and

wherein a first ad creative is transmitted to the requesting site-specific Ad Tag for display on the web page of the publisher in response to the request.

2. The method of claim 1 wherein the advertiser configuration settings for the first ad creative are adjusted based on the configuration settings for the website of the publisher by the site-specific Ad Tag before display of the first ad creative.

3. The method of claim 1 wherein the targeting parameters are based on at least one of contextualization information and website visit metrics dynamically retrieved by the site-specific Ad Tag.

4. The method of claim 1 wherein the targeting parameters are based on at least one of data regarding the amount of user dwell time on a web page, the amount of time a user spent viewing an ad creative, user interaction metrics with an ad creative on the web page, user location, phone or carrier type, scroll depth, scroll speed, viewability data, likelihood to engage data, user-defined ad preferences and user interaction with previously seen ad creatives.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

creating a new ad slot with the site-specific Ad Tag in which to display the first ad creative on the web page of the publisher.

6. The method of claim 1 wherein the first ad creative is retrieved from a programmatic advertising platform associated with an entity controlling the host server.

7. The method of claim 1 wherein the first ad creative is retrieved from a publisher ad server.

8. The method of claim 1 wherein the first ad creative is retrieved from a location that is not associated with an entity controlling the host server.

9. A computing device-implemented method for dynamic digital ad configuration using at least one processor, the method comprising:

providing a site-specific Ad Tag for loading on a publisher web page, the site-specific Ad Tag including pre-defined custom configuration settings for ad creatives appearing on web pages of a publisher website and configured to:

request data from one or more external sources,

dynamically form a request for an ad creative for the ad slot by determining one or more targeting parameters using data received from the one or more external sources, and

monitor the ad creative after the ad creative has been displayed to enforce publisher rules regarding competitive separation of ads from different advertisers;

receiving a request for an ad creative for the ad slot from the site-specific Ad Tag at a location providing ad creatives, the request for the ad creative based on the configuration settings and the one or more targeting parameters, and

transmitting to the requesting site-specific Ad Tag a first ad creative for display on the web page of the publisher in response to the request.

10. The method of claim 9 wherein the targeting parameters are based on at least one of contextualization information and website visit metrics dynamically retrieved by the site-specific Ad Tag.

11. The method of claim 9 wherein the targeting parameters are based on at least one of data regarding the amount of user dwell time on a web page, the amount of time a user spent viewing an ad creative, user interaction metrics with an ad creative on the web page, user location, phone or carrier type, scroll depth, scroll speed, viewability data, likelihood to engage data, user-defined ad preferences and user interaction with previously seen ad creatives.

12. A non-transitory medium holding processor-executable instructions for dynamic digital ad configuration, the instructions when executed by at least one processor causing at least one computing device to:

provide a publisher-specific tag for placement in a publisher's digital ad server as an ad creative;

receive a request at a host server for a site-specific Ad Tag from the publisher-specific tag, the requesting publisher-specific tag loaded in place of an ad creative for an ad slot on a web page of the publisher;

deliver the site-specific Ad Tag from the host server to the web page of the publisher in response to the request, the site-specific Ad Tag:

including pre-defined custom configuration settings for ad creatives appearing on web pages on the publisher website,

configured to request data from one or more external sources and dynamically form a request for an ad creative for the ad slot by determining one or more targeting parameters using data received from the one or more external sources, and

configured to monitor the ad creative after the ad creative has been displayed to enforce publisher rules regarding competitive separation of ads from different advertisers;

wherein a request for an ad creative for the ad slot is received from the site-specific Ad Tag at a location providing ad creatives, the request for the ad creative based on the configuration settings and the one or more targeting parameters, and

wherein a first ad creative is transmitted to the requesting site-specific Ad Tag for display on the web page of the publisher in response to the request.

13. The medium of claim 12 wherein the advertiser configuration settings for the first ad creative are adjusted based on the configuration settings for the website of the publisher by the site-specific Ad Tag before display of the first ad creative.

14. The medium of claim 12 wherein the targeting parameters are based on at least one of contextualization information and website visit metrics dynamically retrieved by the site-specific Ad Tag.

15. The medium of claim 12 wherein the targeting parameters are based on at least one of data regarding the amount of user dwell time on a web page, the amount of time a user spent viewing an ad creative, user interaction metrics with an ad creative on the web page, user location, phone or carrier type, scroll depth, scroll speed, viewability data, likelihood to engage data, user-defined ad preferences and user interaction with previously seen ad creatives.
