Abstract
Systems, methods, and software products allocate digital content to advertising spaces in real time. Advertising space parameters for an advertising space are processed in an advertising space database. Sales parameters for the advertising space are processed in the advertising space database. Digital content is processed in a submitted content database. An advertising space owner is permitted access to the submitted content database for review of the digital content and approved digital content is tagged with an approval indicator. Bidding parameters for a time slot on the advertising space are processed and the time slot is auctioned to providers of the approved digital content. The approved digital content is distributed to the advertising space and winning digital content is aired during the time slot.
