Contextual text-link ads
Howdy,
Does anyone have any design considerations for implementing
a contextual text-link advertising system using Lucene?
The emphasis would be strictly on monetizing search results with
light, non-intrusive behavior (query terms match sponsored results).
Thanks,
Peter W.

Thanks, sounds great.
Sponsored search results are such an important complement
to Lucene, Solr and Nutch it's surprising there is nothing in
the sandbox and only a few archive mentions.
I really liked the idea of setting a boost to certain sponsor
docs based on 'importance' and some known profitable ad formulas
might come into play such as:
sponsored_ad_position=(clicks/impressions) * (highest_bid);
Click-thru rate, cost-per-click and average cost-per-click
still need to be worked out and a few details like automation,
stop words, reporting, analytics, localization, payments and
pay-per-action (conversions) would be gravy.
Beyond just cloning what's out there, the collective experience
of the Lucene community could take leadership in paid search.
Best,
Peter W.

Assuming you don't mean UI design - how about a small auxiliary sponsor
index containing sponsor data - doc per sponsor, sponsor text and sponsor
url as stored fields, sponsor doc statically boosted by sponsor's
$importance$, and highlighting of user query words in the excerpt from
suggested sponsor doc near the suggested link..
