Abstract

Techniques for resource allocation with content creators are described that overcome the challenges of conventional techniques by supporting customized digital content generation and resource allocation specified by content creators of digital content. In one example, a content provider system, based on user input received via a control, specifies the portions of a resource allocation to be shared. A first portion is configured to be shared with a content creator of digital content, the digital content including service access data configured to access a digital service. A second portion is also configured to be shared with a client device that utilizes the service access data to access the digital service. Digital content is generated based on the specified portions and is transmitted. Upon access by the client device to the digital service, an indication of receipt of the first portion of the resource allocation is displayed by the content provider system.

Claims (54)

1. A method implemented by a computing device, the method comprising:

transmitting, by the service provider system implemented by the computing device, the resource allocation data and the service access data to a content provider system;

receiving, by the service provider system implemented by the computing device, resource sharing data from the content provider system, the resource sharing data indicating:

a first portion of the resource allocation to be shared with a content creator of digital content of the content provider system, the digital content including the service access data configured to access the digital service; and

a second portion of the resource allocation to be shared with a client device that utilizes the service access data to access the service provider system, the service access data including a code configured to be stored as a cookie at the client device, the code identifying the content creator of the digital content;

determining, by the service provider system implemented by the computing device, access of the digital service of the service provider system by the client device via the service access data;

identifying, by the service provider system implemented by the computing device, the content creator of the digital content via the code stored as the cookie at the client device; and

based on the determining and the identifying, allocating, by the service provider system implemented by the computing device, the resource allocation to the content provider system and the client device based on the resource sharing data responsive to access to the digital service using the service access data.

2. The method as described in claim 1 , further comprising displaying, by the service provider system implemented by the computing device, a user interface including:

the first control that is user selectable to specify access to the digital service; and

the second control that is user selectable to indicate the resource allocation.

3. The method as described in claim 1 , wherein the service access data includes a link to a network address, via which, the digital service is made available.

4. The method as described in claim 2 , wherein the service access data includes digital marketing content that is selectable to cause the client device to access a network address.

5. The method as described in claim 1 , wherein the digital service is configured to receive user inputs supporting conversion of a good or service.

6. The method as described in claim 1 , wherein the code is configured to cause the first portion of the resource allocation to be shared with the content creator and the second portion of the resource allocation with the client device as part of the allocating.

7. The method as described in claim 1 , wherein the second portion of the resource allocation to be shared with the client device is a coupon.

8. A system comprising:

a digital content control module implemented at least partially in hardware of a computing device to generate service access data that is usable to access a digital service via a network, the generating performed responsive to a user input received via a first control;

a resource allocation module implemented at least partially in the hardware of the computing device to generate resource allocation data responsive to a user input received via a second control to specify a resource allocation associated with the digital service associated with the service access data generated via the first control; and

a resource management module implemented at least partially in the hardware of the computing device to:

transmit the resource allocation data and the service access data to a content provider system;

receive resource sharing data from the content provider system, the resource sharing data indicating:

a first portion of the resource allocation to be shared with a content creator of digital content of the content provider system, the digital content including the service access data configured to access the digital service; and

a second portion of the resource allocation to be shared with a client device that utilizes the service access data to access the service provider system, the service access data including a code configured to be stored as a cookie at the client device, the code identifying the content creator of the digital content;

determine access of the digital service of the service provider system by the client device via the service access data;

identify the content creator of the digital content via the code stored as the cookie at the client device; and

based on the determining and the identifying, allocate the resource allocation to the content provider system and the client device based on the resource sharing data responsive to access to the digital service using the service access data.

9. The system as described in claim 8 , wherein the digital content control module is further implemented at least partially in the hardware of the computing device to display a user interface including:

the first control that is user selectable to specify access to the digital service; and

the second control that is user selectable to indicate the resource allocation.

10. The system as described in claim 8 , wherein the service access data includes a link to a network address, via which, the digital service is made available.

11. The system as described in claim 9 , wherein the service access data includes digital marketing content that is selectable to cause the client device to access a network address.

12. The system as described in claim 8 , wherein the digital service is configured to receive user inputs supporting conversion of a good or service.

13. The system as described in claim 8 , wherein the code is configured to cause the first portion of the resource allocation to be shared with the content creator and the second portion of the resource allocation with the client device as part of the allocating.

14. The system as described in claim 8 , wherein the second portion of the resource allocation to be shared with the client device is a coupon.

15. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising instructions stored that, responsive to execution by one or more processors, performs operations comprising:

generating service access data that is usable to access a digital service of a service provider system via a network, the generating performed responsive to a user input received via a first control;

generating resource allocation data responsive to a user input received via a second control to specify a resource allocation associated with the digital service associated with the service access data generated via the first control;

transmitting the resource allocation data and the service access data to a content provider system;

receiving resource sharing data from the content provider system, the resource sharing data indicating:
