Abstract

In some embodiments, a method receives information for a delivery of instances of supplemental content for a plurality of line items. A line item is associated with an instance of supplemental content that can be delivered and a pacing curve that describes a pace of delivery over time. The method updates a parameter for the line item to generate an updated parameter based on the delivery of the instances of supplemental content and a desired pacing behavior. The updated parameter is provided to a selection system that uses the updated parameter to select an instance for delivery. The delivery of instances of supplemental content for the line item is adjusted to meet the pacing curve based on a characteristic of the pacing behavior.
