Abstract
Techniques for improving advertisement relevance for sponsored search advertising. The method includes steps for processing a click history data structure containing at least a plurality of query-advertisement pairs, populating a first translation table containing a co-occurrence count field, populating a second translation table containing an expected clicks field, and calculating a click propensity score for an advertisement using the click history data structure, the first translation table (for determining overall click likelihood across all historical traffic), and using the second translation table (for removing biases present in the first translation table). Other method steps calculate a second click propensity score for a second advertisement, then ranking the first advertisement relative to the second advertisement for comparing a click propensity score to a threshold for filtering low quality ad candidates from a plurality of ad candidates, and then ranking advertisements for optimizing placement of ads on a sponsored search display page.
