First Claim
1. A computer program product tangibly embodied in a computer-readable storage medium and comprising instructions that when executed by a processor perform a method of determining charge for content presentation, the method comprising:
- identifying multiple target criteria that a content provider specifies for distribution of content, the multiple target criteria associated in a hierarchy;
determining, for a presentation of the content to a user, which of the multiple target criteria are met by the presentation; and
recording a charge to the content provider for the presentation, the charge determined using the hierarchy and charge values associated with the multiple target criteria.

Abstract
A method of determining charge for content presentation includes identifying multiple target criteria that a content provider specifies for distribution of content, the multiple target criteria associated in a hierarchy. The method includes determining, for a presentation of the content to a user, which of the multiple target criteria are met by the presentation. The method includes recording a charge to the content provider for the presentation, the charge determined using the hierarchy and charge values associated with the multiple target criteria. The method can be implemented using a computer program product tangibly embodied in a computer-readable storage medium and comprising instructions that when executed by a processor perform the method.
