Real-time digital asset sampling apparatuses, methods and systems

1. An apparatus comprising:

a memory;

a network interface;

at least one processor to:

store, across a plurality of nodes, attributes of advertisements previously rendered online, such that each node stores a specific advertising attribute, the attributes comprising presentation format, geo-location of each rendered advertisement, size of each rendered advertisement, and display duration;

receive, via the network interface, a query for pricing related to advertising space with specific attributes available on a website;

separate the query into multiple subqueries;

associate each subquery with a respective attribute of the advertisements previously rendered online;

determine a hash for each node based on a host/port combination associated with each subquery;

route, via the network interface, each subquery to a respective node based at least partially on the hash;

receive attribute-specific pricing information from each node;

aggregate the attribute-specific pricing information received from each node;

display aggregated pricing information on a graphical user interface based on results provided by each node;

receive a bid, via the graphical user interface, to place an online advertisement with the specific attributes on a website;

determine that the bid to place the online advertisement is a winning bid, based at least in part on a bid price and the aggregated pricing information; and

transmit a message announcing that the bid is a winning bid.

2. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to render on the graphical user interface a curve indicative of the aggregated pricing information.

3. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the aggregated pricing information further comprises a list of websites that provide advertising space with the specific attributes.

4. The apparatus of claim 3 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to remove websites from the list of websites whose minimum number of ad impressions falls below a threshold.

5. The apparatus of claim 3 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to assign a weight to each website in the list based on prior market performance.

6. The apparatus of claim 3 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to receive an indication that advertising space with the specific attributes is available on a website.

7. The apparatus of claim 3 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to track data related to an advertisement shown on a website.

8. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein, to store the attributes of advertisements previously rendered online, the at least one processor is configured to distribute the attributes of the advertisements across different nodes.

9. A method comprising:

storing, by at least one processor, across a plurality of nodes, attributes of advertisements previously rendered online, such that each node stores a specific advertising attribute, the attributes comprising presentation format, geo-location of each rendered advertisement, size of each rendered advertisement, and display duration;

receiving, by the at least one processor, a query for pricing related to advertising space with specific attributes available on a website;

separating, by the at least one processor, the query into subqueries such that each subquery is associated with a respective attribute;

separating, by the at least one processor, the query into multiple subqueries;

associating, by the at least one processor, each subquery with a respective attribute of the advertisements previously rendered online;

determining, by the at least one processor, a hash for each node based on a host/port combination associated with each subquery;

routing, by the at least one processor, each subquery to a respective node based at least partially on the hash;

receiving, by the at least one processor, attribute-specific pricing information from each node;

aggregating, by the at least one processor, the attribute-specific pricing information received from each node;

displaying, by the at least one processor, aggregated pricing information on a graphical user interface based on results provided by each node;

receiving, by the at least one processor, a bid, via the graphical user interface, to place an online advertisement with the specific attributes on a website;

determining, by the at least one processor, that the bid to place the online advertisement is a winning bid, based at least in part on a bid price and the aggregated pricing information; and

transmitting, by the at least one processor, a message announcing that the bid is a winning bid.

10. The method of claim 9 , further comprising rendering, by the at least one processor, on the graphical user interface a curve indicative of the aggregated pricing information.

11. The method of claim 9 , wherein the aggregated pricing information further comprises a list of websites that provide advertising space with the specific attributes.

12. The method of claim 11 , further comprising removing, by the at least one processor, websites from the list of websites whose minimum number of ad impressions falls below a threshold.

13. The method of claim 11 , further comprising assigning, by the at least one processor, a weight to each website in the list based on prior market performance.

14. The method of claim 11 , further comprising receiving, by the at least one processor, an indication that advertising space with the specific attributes is available on a website.

15. The method of claim 11 , further comprising tracking, by the at least one processor, data related to an advertisement shown on a website.

16. The method of claim 9 , wherein storing the attributes of advertisements previously rendered online further comprises distributing, by the at least one processor, the attributes of the advertisements across different nodes.
