Abstract
Information describing deliveries of content items and user actions associated with the content items is stored. Each delivery is performed by an online publisher to a user. A user action associated with a content item performed by a target user is detected. Information describing a set of online publishers that delivered the content item to the target user is retrieved. For each online publisher of the set, a likelihood that the user action would have occurred without the online publisher's delivery of the content item to the target user is determined. An estimated increase in the likelihood that the user action occurred due to the online publisher's delivery of the content item to the target user is determined. A performance metric is determined for the online publisher, wherein ratios of performance metrics for the set of online publishers are related based on corresponding ratios of the estimated increases in likelihoods.
