Abstract
An advertising system has limited computing resources to spend evaluating advertisements of advertisers to determine a 'best' advertisement to serve to users of a social networking system. The computing resources are allocated (e.g., by varying the number of advertisements that are considered for presentation to a user) based on the neediness of the user and/or the advertiser on a per impression basis. The neediness of a user may be determined by grouping users into groups and determining a yield curve of expected revenue per computing resource used. Then, the revenue may be maximized across impression opportunities for multiple users. The neediness of an advertiser may be determined by biasing the selection of one advertiser's advertisements over another advertiser's advertisements based on an expected revenue, an expected number of interactions of the advertisement, or otherwise maximizing a satisfaction coefficient for the advertiser.
