Abstract

An advertiser may be provided with fast and accurate estimates of the future cost and/or performance information for one or more actual or hypothetical ads (generally referred to as 'proto-ads'). Past auction information may be used to simulate auctions that the proto-ad would have competed in. The proto-ad may then participate in a 'replay' of such past auctions.
