  • Publication number: 20110040632
    Abstract: Techniques are described herein for monetizing page views on an exchange using futures contracts. For example, an estimated price (a.k.a. base price) and a future date (a.k.a. base date or occurrence date) may be declared with respect to a page view. The estimated price is the price at which the page view is to be offered for sale. The future date is the date on which the page view is scheduled to occur. A futures contract regarding the page view is offered for sale on an exchange, such as an ad exchange. The futures contract specifies an obligation to purchase the page view with respect to the future date for the estimated price. The futures contract may be offered for sale on a date that precedes the date on which the page view is to be offered for sale.
