Abstract
A system and method for generating advertisements based on search intent. The system includes a query engine, and an advertisement engine. The query engine receives a query from the user. The query engine analyzes the query to determine a query intent that is matched to a predetermined domain. A translated query is generated including the domain type. Once a domain is selected, the query may be further analyzed to determine generic domain information. The domain and associated information may then be matched to a list of advertisements. The advertisement may be assigned an ad match score based on a correlation between the query information and various listing information provided in the advertisement.
