The Adwords problem has always been an interesting internet advertising problem. There are many ways to solve the Adwords problem with the adversarial order model, including the Greedy Algorithm, the Balance Algorithm, and the Scale-bid Algorithm, which is also known as MSVV. In this survey, I will review the Adwords problem with different input models under a primal-dual setting, and with the small-bid assumption. In the first section, I will focus on Adwords with adversarial order model, and use duality to prove the efficiency of the Greedy Algorithm and the MSVV algorithm. Next, I will look at a primal-dual training-based algorithm for the Adwords problem with the IID model.
