A consolidated purchasing system for search term auctions is provided. The
system typically includes receiving logic, analyzing logic, and
purchasing logic. The receiving logic receives orders from customers. The
analyzing logic receives and consolidates the plurality of orders,
analyzes a dynamic auction for search terms on a search engine, and
determines search terms upon which to bid and an amount to bid for the
search terms. The determination of the amount to bid on the search terms
is in response to a budget and an expected return on the search terms.
The purchasing logic receives instructions from the bidding logic and
bids on the search terms in the dynamic auction, wherein the cost of a
position on a search result list for the search engine changes in
response to input from auction participants. Other systems and methods
are also provided.
