Abstract
A method for determining the value provided to an advertiser through the advertiser'"'"'s online advertisements may begin with providing an online advertisement linked to content. A macro-context may be obtained that quantifies the affinity of the content for a plurality of domains corresponding to a semantic space. A personalization vector may be obtained that quantifies the affinity of at least one aspect of a user for the plurality of domains. The user may then select the online advertisement. A match value may be calculated that quantifies the similarity between the personalization vector and the macro-context. The advertiser may then be charged a monetary amount for the user'"'"'s “click.” The monetary amount may be based, at least in part, on the match value.
