Are you looking for something like the google keymatch as described in [1]
which was then more or less mimiced in nutch web2 module[1],
and since also atleast as a lookalike released in google code [3]

2006/12/19, RP <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
Let me qualify this - ad banner rotation is dealt with - I'm looking for
something that will use our Nutch engine to serve up relevant links from
people who pay for that privilege. We do not want to serve up ad's from
someone else's system i.e. the big G or Y, but use our own Nutch search
results to serve up relevant paying links that we have sold and
maintain. In a simple relational SQL world we would add a flag and
another table with the links and scores and look that up and pass back
when needed. Problem with that is that we lose the whole multi word
scoring capability in Nutch i.e. pizza beer Chicago, should serve up a
Chicago pizza ad first and beer ads further down, just like our search
results have relevancy (not a great example but you get the idea).
Re-writing a scoring engine to do that in SQL seems like a waste when
Nutch already does it just fine.
So in a nutshell - we need to do what the big G and Y and other do when
serving up key word based sponsor links. My thought - automate the
build of a dummy page with the key words bought that would be indexed
and served up just like regular crawled and indexed pages, using the
scoring to rank them in terms of relevancy and placement - I have not
seen any snippets of code to do simple insert/update/delete operations
on a Nutch segment or index however....
This is the idea gathering phase - think like a school/college search
engine with local paying advertisers - we want to serve those links up
to the searchers to help offset the cost of the service and serve up or
flag links that rank first because of payment followed by normal search
link results....
