Abstract
Techniques and systems for determining paywall metrics are described. In an implementation, a candidate paywall metric is created that corresponds to an increased propensity of users to engage in a paid transaction when exposed to a paywall. In this way, providers of digital content may increase the proportion of users that perform a transaction when exposed to the paywall.
Claims20
In a digital medium environment, a method implemented by a computing device, the method comprising:
- testing, by the computing device, metric values of metrics by using the metric values of the metrics to present a user interface associated with a service of a service provider system, the metrics describing types of user interactions with the service via a network;
- determining, by the computing device, difference values between first probability distributions of the metric values of the metrics for a first type of user response to a presentation of the user interface and second probability distributions of the metric values of the metrics for a second type of user response to the presentation of the user interface;
- determining, by the computing device, a subset of the difference values that exceed a threshold value of a difference between a probability of the first type of user response to the presentation of the user interface and a probability of the second type of user response to the presentation of the user interface;
- generating, by the computing device, a candidate value of a candidate metric based on the subset of the difference values, the candidate value of the candidate metric corresponding to an increased propensity of the first type of user response;
- and
- controlling, by the computing device, subsequent exposure of the user interface based at least in part on the candidate value of the candidate metric.
A system comprising:
- a processing system;
- and
- a computer-readable storage medium having instructions stored thereon that, responsive to execution by the processing system, causes the processing system to perform operations including:
- testing metric values of metrics by using the metric values of the metrics to present a user interface associated with a service of a service provider system, the metrics describing types of user interactions with the service via a network;
- determining first probability distributions of the metric values of the metrics for a first type of user response to a presentation of the user interface and second probability distributions of the metric values of the metrics for a second type of user response to the presentation of the user interface;
- determining difference values between the first and second probability distributions of the metric values of the metrics that exceed a threshold value of a difference between a probability of the first type of user response and a probability of the second type of user response;
- generating a candidate value of a candidate metric based on the difference values, the candidate value of the candidate metric corresponding to an increased propensity of the first type of user response;
- and
- controlling subsequent exposure of the user interface based at least in part on the candidate value of the candidate metric.
One or more computer-readable storage media comprising instructions stored thereon that, responsive to execution by a computing device in a digital medium environment, cause operations of the computing device including:
- testing metric values of metrics by using the metric values of the metrics to present a user interface associated with a service of a service provider system, the metrics describing types of user interactions with the service via a network;
- determining difference values between first probability distributions of the metric values of the metrics for a first type of user response to a presentation of the user interface and second probability distributions of the metric values of the metrics for a second type of user response to the presentation of the user interface;
- determining a subset of the difference values that exceed a threshold value of a difference between a probability of the first type of user response to the presentation in the user interface and a probability of the second type of user response to the presentation in the user interface;
- generating a candidate value of a candidate metric based on a largest difference value of the subset of the difference values, the candidate value of the candidate metric corresponding to an increased propensity of the first type of user response;
- and
- controlling subsequent exposure of the user interface based at least in part on the candidate value of the candidate metric.
