A system for processing information requests associated with mobile devices comprises an evaluation module configured to determine at least one performance measure for each of a plurality of information documents using at least data in one or both of a requests database and events database. The at least one performance measure includes at least one of an impression-based performance measure, a click/call-based performance measure, and an off-line site-visit-based performance measure. The system further comprises an information server configured to select a first information document for transmitting to a first mobile device to fulfill a first request. The information server includes a volume control unit configured to derive an off-line site visit projection in response to the first document being selected based at least in part on an off-line site-visit-based performance measure and having been impressed on the first mobile device, and to adjust a budget associated with the first document using the off-line site visit projection.

Using on-line and off-line projections to control information delivery to mobile devices

A system for processing information requests associated with mobile devices comprises an information server configured to build a search query for an information request based on the location features and other data therein and to search an information database for matching information documents. The matching information documents including information documents having different types of performance measure, including a first document using an impression-based performance measure, a second document using a click/call-based performance measure and a third document using an off-line site-visit-based performance measure. The information server is further configured rank the matching documents based on their respective performance measures and to select a matching document based on their respective rankings. The information server is further configured to generate a projected probability of an off-line site visit in response to the second document being selected to fulfill the each request and impressed on an associated mobile device, and to adjust a budget of the second document based on the projected probability.
