A method and a system that identify seller ads to potential buyers within
a network-based commerce system are provided. The method and system may
operate to receive a request including a product identification and
financial metrics from a seller, and assign to the seller, based on a
distance function and the product identification, a matching
identification entry included in a set of identification entries. The
method and system may further include operations to identify one or more
seller ads associated with the matching identification entry, as
determined by a relevance function based on the financial metrics and a
distance measured between the matching identification entry and at least
one extracted identification entry extracted from a selected content page
and included in the set of identification entries.
