Abstract:
1. A computerized system for recommending keywords, the computerized system comprising: a processor for executing one or more machine-executable instructions embedded in a memory, the executed one or more machine-executable instructions comprising: a keyword receiving component to receive at least one keyword bid upon by a first entity; a bid pattern determining component to determine a bid pattern associated with the first entity and each of a plurality of other entities in response to the received at least one keyword; a confidence value determining component to determine at least one second keyword bid upon by at least one of the plurality of other entities and to calculate for each determined at least one second keyword a confidence value, wherein each determined at least one second keyword is paired with the received at least one keyword and is derived from the determined bid pattern, and wherein the confidence value of each determined at least one second keyword is based on a frequency of bidding on each determined at least one second keyword by one or more entities that bid on both the at least one keyword and each determined at least one second keyword, and a frequency of bidding on each determined at least one second keyword irrespective of association with the at least one keyword; an entity similarity determining component to determine at least one other entity that is similar to the first entity by retrieving all keywords bid upon by the first entity, retrieving all keywords bid upon by each of the plurality of other entities, comparing the keywords bid upon by each of the plurality of other entities to all keywords bid upon by the first entity, and determining at least one of the plurality of other entities that is similar to the first entity if similarity between the keywords bid upon by the first entity and the keywords bid upon by the at least one of the plurality of other entities exceeds a determined threshold; and a suggested keyword presentation component to present suggested keywords to the first entity, wherein the presented suggested keywords include one or more keywords having confidence values that exceed a predetermined threshold and one or more keywords from the determined at least one of the plurality of other entities that is similar to the first entity.
