Abstract:

A computer-implemented method for increasing publisher revenue for targeted online advertising includes retrieving buying data from an ad network report. Ad impression counts and bid amounts from winning bids may be used to determine a true cost per thousand impressions (CPM) value of an ad request. Price floors for the ad request may be set to equal the true CPM value either automatically or manually by the publisher. Monitoring periods for purchase data reporting from participating ad networks may provide true CPM values in real-time.
