Bidding on Configurations in Internet Ad Auctions

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNTCS,volume 5609))

Abstract

In Internet advertising, a configuration of ads is determined by the seller, and advertisers buy spaces in the configuration. In this paper, motivated by sponsored search ads, we propose an auction where advertisers directly bid and determine the eventual configuration.
