A Dynamic Model of Sponsored Search Advertising
Sponsored search advertising is ascendant Jupiter Research reports
expenditures rose 28% in 2007 to 22 retail price of the software products advertised on the considered
search engine, this implies a conversion rate (sales per click) of about
1.1%, well within common estimates of 1-2% (gamedaily.com). Hence our
approach appears to yield valid estimates of advertiser click
valuations. Another finding is that customers appear to be segmented by
their clicking frequency, with frequent clickers placing a greater
emphasis on the position of the sponsored advertising link. Estimation
of the policy simulations is in progress
Informaciรณn personal: la nueva moneda de la economรญa digital
Technological progress has profoundly changed the way personal data are collected, accessed and used. Those data make possible unprecedented customization of advertising which, in turn, is the business model adopted by many of the most successful Internet companies. Yet measuring the value being generated is still a complex task. This paper presents a review of the literature on this subject. It has been found that the economic analysis of personal information has been conducted up to now from a qualitative perspective mainly linked to privacy issues. A better understanding of a quantitative approach to this topic is urgently needed

Does Position Matter More on Mobile? Ranking Effects across Devices
Achieving a better rank online is often costly. Is the effect of ranking different for mobile devices and traditional PC? This study empirically examines the ranking effect across different device types in an e-commerce environment. With over 4 million observations from Tweaker.net, the largest shopbot in Netherlands, we estimated the ranking effect between mobile and PC. Surprisingly, and contrary to prior findings, our results across different model specifications consistently show that ranking effect is smaller on mobile devices. This study extends the understanding about the effect of position in e-commerce context by empirically examining the ranking effect across devices. This study has important managerial implications for retailers and e-commerce platforms. As the ranking effect is smaller on mobile devices, retailers should take account of the source of traffic (mobile or PC) while bidding for a particular position. And platforms should consider the different ranking effects on different channels
Multi-Click Attribution in Sponsored Search Advertising: An Empirical Study in Hospitality Industry
Sponsored search advertising has become a dominant form of advertising for many firms in the hospitality vertical, with Priceline and Expedia each spending in excess of US$2 billion in online advertising in 2015. Given the competition in online advertising, it has become essential for advertisers to know how effectively to allocate financial resources to keywords. Central to budget allocation for keywords is an attribution of revenue (from converted ads) to the keywords generating consumer interest. Conventional wisdom suggests several ways to attribute revenues in the sponsored search advertising domain (e.g., last-click, first & last-click, or evenly distributed approach). We develop a multi-click attribution methodology using a unique multi-advertiser data set, which includes full advertiser and consumer-level click and purchase information. We add to the literature by developing a two-stage multi-click attribution methodology with a specific focus on sponsored search advertising in the hospitality industry with which we develop a parametric approach to calculate the value function from each stage of the estimation process. Given our multi-advertiser data set, we are able to illustrate the inefficiency of single-click attribution approaches, which undervalue assist clicks while overvaluing converted clicks
"To Sponsor or not to Sponsor: Sponsored Search Auctions with Organic Links"
In 2010 sponsored search advertisements generated over $12 billion in revenue for search engines in the US market and accounted for 46% of online advertising revenue. A substantial portion of this revenue was generated by the sale of search keywords using auction mechanism. We analyze a game-theoretic model to understand the interplay between organic and sponsored links in keyword auctions. Our model allows both the relevance of the advertising firm as well as the position of its sponsored link to impact click-through-rates. Our results demonstrate how the presence of organic links (links generated by the search engine algorithm) may lead to either more or less aggressive bidding for sponsored link positions depending on consumers attitudes toward sponsored links and the extent to which sponsored and organic links are complements or substitutes. In contrast to equilibrium results in existing literature, the firm with the highest value per click does not necessarily win the first spot in the sponsored search listing. It also may be optimal for a firm to bid an amount greater than the expected value (or sale) from a click.sponsored search, organic search, online advertising, keyword auction

An Empirical Analysis

์ค๊ตฌ.With the emergence of new technologies and due to the recent COVID-19 pandemic, e-commerce and its subsequent e-marketplaces are constantly gaining attention. Simultaneous to the popularity, competition is becoming fierce for both e-marketplace operators and its participating sellers. As a result, they are striving for a competitive edge.
Incorporating decision-supporting services in e-marketplaces can be considered as a strategic activity for the platform operators, which can enhance the performance of sellers actively using such services. We therefore hypothesize that the usage of decision support systems will lead to an enhanced performance of e-marketplace participants, i.e., sellers.
By utilizing a secondary data provided by one of the leading e-marketplace operators in Korea, we have empirically found out that usage of decision support systems, namely, seller dashboard and review systems, lead to an increase in sales, which is the measurement of a sellerโs performance.
This study will serve as a literature for DSS effectiveness, e-marketplace success strategies, and will provide theoretical implications for the resource-based view and competitive dynamics theory by adding an empirical evidence for those field of study. Also, this study possesses managerial implications for not only e-marketplace operators seeking success, but sellers within the platform also.IT์ ๋ฐ์ ๊ณผ ํจ๊ป ํนํ ์ต๊ทผ COVID-19 ํฌ๋ฐ๋ฏน์ ์ํฅ์ผ๋ก ์ ์์๊ฑฐ๋๋ ๊พธ์คํ ์ฑ์ฅ๊ณผ ๊ด์ฌ์ ๋ฐ๊ณ ์๋ค. ํ์ง๋ง ์ด์ ๋์์ ๊ฒฝ์ ์ญ์ ์น์ดํด์ง๊ณ ์๊ธฐ ๋๋ฌธ์, ์ ์์๊ฑฐ๋ ํ๋ซํผ ์ด์์ฌ๋ค๊ณผ ํ๋ซํผ์ ์ฐธ์ฌํ๋ ํ๋งค์๋ค์ ๊ฒฝ์์ฐ์๋ฅผ ์ ํ๊ฒ ์ํด ๋

LemonAds: Impression Quality in Programmatic Advertising
The display advertising practice relies on the real-time exchange of large volumes of impressions. Advertisers and publishers typically carry out their transactions through Reservation contracts, Real Time Bidding (RTB), or a mixture of the two. The co-existence of multiple transaction methods is problematic since impression quality is difficult to assess. As such, the display advertising market is characterized by high uncertainty and asymmetric information. In this paper, we use viewability as a measure of impression quality and show how the co-existence of different transaction methods leads to allocation and pricing inefficiencies. Using bid-request level data from a European Demand Side Platform, we find that publishers who engage in both Reservation Contracts and RTB offer higher quality impressions through Reservation Contracts, while allocating the remaining lower quality impressions to RTB. We find that, by doing so, publishers can leverage on asymmetric information on impression quality to extract excess profit from advertisers
Hybrid Advertising Auctions
Several major websites offer hybrid auctions that allow advertisers to
bid on a per-impression or a per-click basis. We present the first
analysis of this hybrid advertising auction setting. The conventional
wisdom is that brand advertisers (e.g. Coca-Cola) will bid per
impression, while direct response advertisers (e.g. Amazon.com) will
bid per click. We analyze a theoretical model of advertiser bidding to
ask whether this conventional wisdom will hold up in practice. We find
the opposite in a static game: brand advertisers bid per click, while
direct response advertisers bid per impression. In a more realistic
repeated game, we find that direct response advertisers bid per click,
but brand advertisers may profitably alternate between bidding for
clicks and bidding for impressions. The analysis implies that sellers
of online advertising (a) may sometimes prefer not to offer advertisers
multiple bidding options, (b) should try to ascertain advertisers' types
when they do use hybrid auctions, and (c) should consider advertisers'
strategic incentives when forming click-through rate expectations in
hybrid auction formats
A Novel Approach for Bidding on Newly Set-Up Search Engine Advertising Campaigns
Advertisers setting up search engine advertising campaigns for the first time need to place bids on keywords, but typically lack experience and data to determine ranks that maximize a keyword's profit (generally referred to as a cold-start problem). This article aims at solving the problem of bidding on keywords in newly set-up search engine advertising campaigns. We suggest that advertisers collect data from the Google Keyword Planner to obtain precise estimates of the percentage increases in prices per click and clickthrough rates, which are needed to calculate optimal bids (exact approach). Together with the profit contribution per conversion and the conversion rate, the advertiser might then set bids that maximize profit. In case advertisers cannot afford to collect the required data, we suggest two proxy approaches and evaluate their performance using the exact approach as a benchmark.
The empirical study shows that both proxy approaches perform reasonably well-the easier approach to implement (proxy 2) sometimes performs even better than the more sophisticated one (proxy 1). As a consequence, advertisers might just use this very simple proxy when bidding on keywords in newly set-up SEA campaigns.
This research extends the stream of literature on how to determine optimal bids, which so far focuses on campaigns that are already running and where the required data to calculate bids is already available. This research offers a novel approach of determining bids when advertisers lack the aforementioned information
