  • Abstract
    Keyword auctions were widely used by search engines to sell the advertisement on the result pages. To date, the most widely used auction mechanism is wGSP (weighted and generalized second-price). This paper presents an optimal pricing strategy under wGSP for advertiser to bid keywords for their websites. In brief, the issues we addressed here were: (1) what is the wGSP mechanism, how does it work? (2) what is the optimal pricing strategy, how to select the combination of keywords and their placements?
