Abstract
Systems and methods are described for improving mediated sponsored content networks using a stack trace. One implementation relates to a method running on a sponsored content network and includes receiving a request for a sponsored content item from a user device executing code from a mediation platform. An item is sent to fulfill the request. If the identity of the mediation platform is not known, the sent item includes stack trace implementation code. An identifier is received that is associated with the mediation platform consequent to the user device executing the stack trace implementation code and the identity of the mediation platform is determined using the identifier. A performance metric associated with the determined identity of the mediation platform is identified. The method may further receive a second request for a sponsored content item from the user device and use the performance metric to select the second item.
