product_ids affecting auction?

[michaelkleber]

In your proposal, is there any way that the set of product_ids can affect the overall ad's bid price in the auction?

I expect that more-expensive products would make the ad more valuable to show. But maybe you intended to solve that using different interest groups in the first place (expensive-shoes vs cheap-shoes), rather than attaching some value info to individual products.

This is exactly the way we were thinking about it, the interest group itself should already capture that information.

When it comes to bidding signals, "Recent Ad Events" would definitely be much more valuable than access to product_ids.
