Abstract:
The subject matter of this specification can be embodied in, among other things, a system includes a map store, a map server, and a content server. The map server identifies a set of content items in which each content item is associated with a geographic location that is presented in a portion of a map, determines, for a given content item, an adjusted value of a given content item based at least in part on a base value for the content given item and a set of adjustment factors for one or more other content items in the set of content items, selects content items from the set of content items based on the adjusted values, and provides data that present the selected content items on the portion of the map presented at the device.

Abstract:
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for optimizing transmission of digital components. In one aspect a digital component distribution system performs operations including determining a minimum eligibility value required to maintain the eligibility of a given digital component based on a next highest eligibility value of one of the other digital components. Based on the next highest eligibility value, a baseline transmission value required to be submitted for distribution of the given digital component is determined. A normalized transmission value is determined based on the minimum eligibility value, and transmission of the given digital component to a client device presenting a particular electronic document is triggered based on the normalized transmission value.

Abstract:
Methods and apparatus related to associating a quality measure with a given location. For example, an anticipated distance value for a given location may be identified that is indicative of anticipated time and/or distance to reach the given location. At least one actual distance may be identified that is indicative of actual time for the one or more members to reach the given location. In some implementations, the anticipated/actual distance values may include one or more distributions. A quality measure is then determined based on a comparison of the anticipated distance value and the identified actual distance value. The quality measure is associated with the given location. The quality measure may be further based on additional factors.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatus related to determining a characteristic of a location based on visit data associated with the location. Visit data indicative of travel of users to a first location from one or more other locations and/or of travel of users from the first location to one or more other locations may be utilized to determine information about the location. In some implementations visit data may be utilized to determine a connectedness measure and associate the second location with the first location based on the connectedness measure. A characteristic of the first location may optionally be determined based on a characteristic of the second location and/or an attribute associated with the visit data.

Abstract:
Methods and apparatus related to determining a characteristic of a location based on visit data. For example, a location and visit data associated with the location may be identified. A first visit measure and a second measure for the location may be determined, the first visit measure being indicative of the number of people in a population present at the location during a first time. A characteristic of the location may be determined based on comparison of the first visit measure to the second measure.
