Abstract: A system and method of dynamic compensation for providing content recommendations. When a content recommendation is received from a first user, a first value of the content may be determined at the time related to receipt of the recommendation. A second value of the content may be determined after a first predetermined time period and a third value may be determined that is based on a difference between the first and second values. The third value may be paid to the first user. The first and second values may be indicative of demand over different time periods. Thus, recommenders may be compensated according to the individual success of the content they recommend, as measured by the increase in valuation of the content from the time of recommendation to a later time when the content reaches a threshold valuation or increases a predetermined amount.
