  • FRAMEWORK THAT FACILITATES USER PARTICIPATION IN AUCTIONS FOR DISPLAY ADVERTISEMENTS
    Publication number: 20150213510
    Abstract: Various technologies relating to prevention of display of advertisements on pages rendered on client computing devices are described. A user participates in real-time auctions for advertisement positions on pages, where a bidding agent submits bids on behalf of the user. When the user wins an auction for an advertisement position, the advertisement position is populated with content approved by the user, thus effectively preventing another advertiser from presenting an advertisement in the advertisement position.
