Abstract

We discuss an auction framework in which sponsored search advertisements are delivered in response to queries. In practice, the presence of bidder budgets can have a significant impact on the ad delivery process. We propose an approach based on linear programming which takes bidder budgets into account, and uses them in conjunction with forecasting of query frequencies, and pricing and ranking schemes, to optimize ad delivery. Simulations show significant improvements in revenue and efficiency.
