Method and system for targeted advertising based on topical memes
First Claim
1. A computer implemented method for targeting advertisement, comprising steps of:
- analyzing, by a computer-based system, web content against a defined topic;
obtaining, by the computer-based system and based on the analyzing, topic-matching content related to the defined topic;
processing, by the computer-based system, the topic-matching content;
extracting, by the computer-based system and based on the processing, topical memes associated with the topic-matching content, wherein each of the extracted topical memes is a point of discussion within the defined topic;
measuring, by the computer-based system, an engagement level for each piece of the topic-matching content;
obtaining, by the computer-based system and based on the measuring, a respective viral dynamics metric for each said piece of the topic-matching content, wherein a viral dynamics metric indicates popularity of the piece of the topic-matching content;
accumulating, by the computer-based system and for each of the extracted topical memes, the viral dynamics metrics of the pieces of the topic-matching content;
obtaining, by the computer-based system and based on the accumulating, a respective aggregate viral dynamics value for each of the extracted topical memes;
determining, by the computer-based system, a most active meme from the extracted topical memes, based on the aggregate viral dynamics value for each of the extracted topical memes;
identifying, by the computer-based system, web pages containing the most active meme;
selecting, by the computer-based system, an advertising network servicing a number of content sources hosting the identified web pages;
selecting, by the computer-based system, an advertisement assigned to the most active meme; and
delivering, by the computer-based system, said selected advertisement to said number of said content sources through said advertising network.

Abstract
A targeted advertising system and method based on memes contained in content sources are disclosed. Content matching keywords-defining topics are identified from content sources and are further processed to extract the memes. Ad networks servicing the content are also identified and their reach for each meme determined. The system and method extract also viral dynamics of the content associated to a meme and use the aggregation of the viral dynamics as a measure of engagement level for the meme. The system and method allow a Marketer to select a meme based on the engagement level and to run an ad campaign against the meme. The advertisements are delivered through an Ad network and inserted at the meme page level when the content hosting the meme is accessed, the Ad network being selected based on its reach.
