First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method of generating a geocoded targeted web advertisement for a user viewing web pages, the method comprising:
- determining a geographic location from content of a web page;
searching for geographic information associated with the geographic location;
determining coordinates associated with a centroid of the geographic location from the geographic information;
identifying geographic specific advertisements associated with the centroid; and

Abstract
A system and a method are disclosed for presenting users with web advertisements that are dynamically adjusted based upon a geographic location determined within the content of the web page that the web advertisement will appear. An analysis module determines a geographic location from the content of a web page. The analysis module determines coordinates associated with the geographic location. An advertisement search module determines geographic specific advertisements based on the coordinates. An advertisement generation module generates a geocoded targeted web advertisement based at least in part on geographic specific advertisements.
