Abstract:
A method, system, and graphical user interface for alerting a computer user to new results for a prior search are disclosed. One aspect of the invention involves a graphical user interface on a computer that includes a plurality of links recommended by a search engine for a computer user. The plurality of links are determined by the search engine by: producing search results by rerunning a plurality of search queries that have been performed previously for the computer user, and evaluating the produced search results to select search results that meet predefined search result selection criteria. At least one of the criteria is based on Internet usage data for the user.

Abstract:
This specification describes technologies relating to generation of keywords. In general, one aspect of the subject matter described in this specification can be embodied in methods that include receiving structured data describing a content item, the structured data indicating a category for the content item. The methods may further include searching domains associated with the category using a first query, formed based on data elements in the structured data, to identify resources associated with the identified domains. The methods may further include determining one or more queries based on data reflecting past search queries, where each of the one or more determined queries resulted in one or more of the identified resources being returned as part of a search result, and determining keywords based on the one or more determined queries. The methods may further include transmitting or storing the keywords for use in impression allocation decisions.
Abstract:
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for creating advertisements are disclosed. In one aspect, a method includes receiving an advertisement request that includes user context data. An advertisement having distribution parameters matching the user context data is identified. The identified advertisement can include one or more variables that are resolved based on the user context data. A proper subset of feed data to which the one or more variables for the advertisement will be resolved can be selected based on the user context data and performance measures for portions of the feed data that have been previously used to resolve the one or more variables. The advertisement is modified, at least in part, by including, in place of the one or more variables, the selected modifying data. The modified advertisement is provided in response to the advertisement request.
