Online Advertisement Click Prediction
Technologies Used:
-
Backend: PHP / Java / Node.js
-
Frontend: HTML, CSS, Bootstrap, JavaScript
-
ML Tools: Python (for model training), Scikit-learn, Pandas, NumPy
-
Database: MySQL / MongoDB
-
Visualization: Chart.js / D3.js (for frontend analytics)
Project Objective:
To develop a machine learning-based web application that predicts the likelihood of a user clicking on an online advertisement, based on their demographic data and browsing behavior. This helps advertisers target the right audience and optimize ad placements.
Key Features:
-
User Behavior Tracking:
Collects data like pages visited, time spent, mouse movement, etc. -
User Demographics Module:
Users enter age, gender, location, income, etc. which influence ad targeting. -
ML Click Prediction Engine:
Predicts click probability based on historical labeled data using classification algorithms (e.g., Logistic Regression, Random Forest, or XGBoost). -
Interactive Dashboard (Admin Panel):
Visualizes ad performance, CTR (Click Through Rate), and predicted vs. actual clicks. -
Ad Campaign Manager:
Admin can upload different ad campaigns and monitor predicted reach and success. -
Real-Time Prediction API:
As soon as a user views an ad, the system predicts the click probability in real time.
Dataset Used (Sample):
-
Features like:
-
Daily Time Spent on Site
-
Age
-
Area Income
-
Ad Topic Line
-
City
-
Male/Female
-
Internet Usage
-
Clicked on Ad (label)
-
Use public datasets from platforms like Kaggle or simulate your own.
How It Works:
-
Collect and preprocess user interaction and profile data.
-
Train a machine learning classifier (Random Forest / Logistic Regression).
-
Store the trained model.
-
Develop a web interface using HTML/CSS/JS and connect it to the backend (Node.js/Java/PHP).
-
When a user logs in or interacts with a page, the backend predicts the ad click likelihood and stores results.
-
Admin can analyze patterns and optimize ad placements accordingly.
✅ Project Outcomes:
-
Helps advertisers improve conversion rates.
-
Reduces cost per click (CPC) by targeting potential converters.
-
Applies real-world classification and predictive analytics techniques.
