Expert System Launches New Contextual Advertising Solution With Semantic Intelligence
COGITO Advertiser Vastly Improves the Accuracy and Relevance of Online Ad Placement by Incorporating Semantic Analysis
NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwire - September 15, 2008) - Expert System, leading provider of semantic
software that discovers, classifies and interprets text information, today
announces the launch of COGITO Advertiser, an innovative tool that
automatically processes the meaning of text to ensure ad placement is
relevant to its assigned Web pages. Using semantic intelligence, COGITO
Advertiser analyzes the text on each page and ensures ads are placed
appropriately to increase click-through rates.
The main issue limiting the online advertising market today is the
disconnect between advertisement placement and the relevance of the copy.
This is due to the reliance on keyword frequency without considering the
meaning. Oftentimes, ads may appear on pages that have little significance
to the assigned page or may produce counterproductive effects. For
example, an ad for a Caribbean vacation package may inadvertently appear
near an article about a massive hurricane that ripped through that region.
COGITO Advertiser addresses this shortfall by:
-- Automatically analyzing Web pages to identify the most relevant topics
and extract the main themes included in the text
-- Classifying content by assigning the category related to the text in
real time, based on an optimized taxonomy and high precision
-- Processing the text and collecting all useful data in an output format
structured to be easily uploaded into a database
-- Directly integrating with the ad server, enabling the selection and
serving of the most relevant ads for the reference Web page
"Correlating the advertisement to text on the Web page is the only way an
ad will generate profit," said J. Brooke Aker, chief executive officer of
Expert System's U.S. subsidiary. "Through linguistic analysis, COGITO
Advertiser provides the only real solution for comprehending the meaning of
text and combining it with relevant ads to effectively reach the right
customers."
COGITO Advertiser also provides details on actual users of specific Web
sites, so companies can tailor their messaging, plan for future
investments, and coordinate timing of ad placements. By processing the
contents of the Web sites and operating an accurate categorization of the
pages, the software can provide a detailed map of targeted subjects. For
example, if specific users are reading articles about fuel efficiency
during a specific timeframe, COGITO Advertiser can provide these details so
a hybrid vehicle manufacturer can direct its advertising budget
accordingly.
These user details are also incorporated to make socio-cultural
correlations for ad placement. For example, a user interested in hybrid
vehicles is likely interested in organic food. The relations are not
direct, and may not include the same keywords, but they are incisive and
effective. Only COGITO Advertiser has the semantic intelligence to
discover these trends and effectively reach new customers.
