Recommendation source-related user activity calculator

A system comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• a processing device operatively coupled with the memory, the processing device configured to:
• provide a content recommendation source application to be installed on a webpage associated with a target web site;
• collect user activity data associated with a plurality of users during an activity window, wherein the user activity data comprises information relating to interactions of the plurality of users with the content recommendation source application associated with the target web site;
• identify, from the collected user activity data, a plurality of user sessions of the first user occurring during the activity window, wherein each of the plurality of user sessions is initiated by an interaction of the first user with the content recommendation source application;
• identify a set of impressions by the first user relating to the target web site occurring during the plurality of user sessions of the first user during the activity window;
• identify an outlier user session of the plurality of user sessions;
• remove the outlier user session from the plurality of user sessions to identify a total quantity of user sessions of the first user occurring during the activity window;
• calculate a source-related user activity measurement represented by a first quantity of impressions of the set of impressions divided by the total quantity of user sessions occurring during the activity window;
• and
• store the source-related user activity measurement in a data store.
