METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR SELECTING AND OPTIMIZING BID RECOMMENDATION ALGORITHMS
First Claim
1. A method for evaluating at least one bid recommendation algorithm, comprising acts of:
- retrieving a first metric data set associated with a plurality of internet advertisement objects;
dividing the plurality of internet advertisement objects and the first metric set into a plurality of object groups;
providing a first object group to a first client device;
to providing a second object group to a second client device;
retrieving a second metric data set associated with the plurality of internet advertisement objects; and
measuring the performance of the at least one bid recommendation algorithm with respect to the second metric data set.

Abstract
A system and method are provided for evaluating the performance of at least one algorithm that generates bid recommendations for keyword advertising on search engines. According to one example, metric data associated with a plurality of internet advertisement objects is divided into a plurality of similar object groups. In one example, these object groups are provided to one or more client devices. In one example, the client devices generate bid recommendations according to at least one algorithm and place the bids with search engines. In still another example, the performance of the at least one bid recommendation algorithm is later measured or compared to the performance of another bid recommendation algorithm.

23. A system comprising:
-
a grouping engine configured to divide the plurality of internet advertisement objects and associated metric data sets into a plurality of object groups; a data transfer engine configured to send and receive the plurality of internet advertisement objects, the associated metric data sets, and the plurality of object groups; an analysis engine configured to measure the performance of at least one bid recommendation algorithm with respect to a metric data set; a metric database configured to store metric data; and at least one interface configured to allow interaction with the grouping engine, the data transfer engine, the analysis engine, and the metric database. - View Dependent Claims (24, 25, 26)
