  • Publication number: 20160078495
    Abstract: An online system may prevent a content associated with a user from including content that is sponsored by a third party, other than the user, for presentation on by the online system unless the user provides an amount of compensation to the online system. To determine an amount of compensation, the online system determines an amount of reach of the content sponsored by the third party based on characteristics of the content associated with the user. For example, a number of users viewing the content associated with the user is used to determine the amount of reach of the content if it is presented by via the content associated with the user. Based on the amount of reach, the online system determines an amount of compensation to be received from the user to present the content sponsored by the third party via the content associated with the user.
