In general, one aspect of the subject matter described in this specification can be embodied in methods that include the actions of presenting a first content item to a first device associated with a user; receive a input from the first device indicating that the first content item has been stored in a repository of the first device; in response to the input, synchronizing the repository of the first device with a user account including the first content item; receiving a request for one or more content items stored in the user account from a second device associated with the user; presenting the requested content items on the second device associated with the user including the first content item; and receiving an indication of a conversion event associated with the presented first content item on the second device.

Claims

1. A method comprising:

presenting a first content item to a first device associated with a user;

receive a input from the first device indicating that the first content item has been stored in a repository of the first device;

in response to the input, synchronizing the repository of the first device with a user account including the first content item;

receiving a request for one or more content items stored in the user account from a second device associated with the user;

presenting the requested content items on the second device associated with the user including the first content item;

receiving an indication of a conversion event associated with the presented first content item on the second device; and

logging the conversion event.

2. The method of claim 1, where the first content item is an advertisement.

3. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

crediting an account associated with the user in response to the conversion event.

4. The method of claim 3, where crediting includes awarding points that can be redeemed for one or more products or services.

7. The method of claim 1, where presenting the requested content items includes presenting redemption location information associated with each presented content item.

8. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

receiving a user request that a content item stored on the user device be shared with a second user; and

sending the content item to an account of the second user.

9. A system comprising:

one or more processors configured to interact with a computer storage medium in order to perform operations comprising;

presenting a first content item to a first device associated with a user;

receive a input from the first device indicating that the first content item has been stored in a repository of the first device;

in response to the input, synchronizing the repository of the first device with a user account including the first content item;

receiving a request for one or more content items stored in the user account from a second device associated with the user;

presenting the requested content items on the second device associated with the user including the first content item;

receiving an indication of a conversion event associated with the presented first content item on the second device; and

logging the conversion event.

10. The system of claim 9, where the first content item is an advertisement.

11. The system of claim 9, further configured to perform operations comprising:
