In one embodiment, a method is illustrated as comprising receiving
selected advertising keywords, wherein the selected advertising keywords
are taken from an advertisement transmitted across a network, the
selected advertising keywords are stored into a database, and the
selected advertising keywords are activated, wherein the network is
selected from the group of network types consisting of a radio network,
television network, cable network, and internet network. Further, this
method also includes receiving a search query containing selected
advertising keywords, retrieving the selected advertising keywords and
associated database entry, sorting the selected advertising keywords and
associated database entry, giving priority to certain selected
advertising keywords and associated database entry, and transmitting the
selected advertising keywords and associated database entry across a
network. Sorting may be based upon Return On Investment (ROI), search
results with the highest airplay on the network, or advertisements played
by broad cast stations with the highest industry ratings.
