As you capture the input from the web form in your python app on the server, pull out the keywords you are interested in and store those together with logon/user information in a database. Alongside that, store the text for all your adverts in a database along with a list of keywords for each advert. Then, when it comes to displaying the targeted adverts on a webpage, grab the user keywords from the database, use them to match against adverts that have the same keywords stored in the database, then choose from those adverts and include the output into your webpage. Something like that should at least ensure the relevant ad's turn up on the page. As to a more sophisticated 'weighting' scheme, you could start doing things like associating values with keywords, matching up which keywords a user has used against the keywords stored against different ads, sum up the total score for each ad, the ads with the highest scores based on the user keywords given should be displayed first.. I havent a clue if there are 'official' ways of doing it, but that's the kind of thing I'd start looking at, anyhoo Matt.
