Recent GA results for "pivots_block" module recommendation system

Mon, 01/19/2009 - 15:59 — Daniel Zhou

From the last Google Analytics (GA) study on the usefulness of "pivots_block" on 4 recommendation algorithms, we learned that the classical "relevancy" algorithm generated the better results. Therefore, we used the relevancy algorithm on D.O. from Dec/4/2008 to Jan/9/2009. And the average click-thru rate was 0.474%.

Then, we were interested in whether 0.474% was indeed a good indicator to claim "pivots_block" was useful to users. So we temporary switched "pivots_block" to the "New forum posts" on the module pages, and try to compare if the "New forum posts" could invite more clicks. It turned out that the average click-thru rate for "New forum posts" between Jan/9/2009 and Jan/18/2009 was only 0.144%. That means, more or less, on the module pages "pivots_block" is almost 3 times more useful than "New forum posts".

Now we are much more confident that "pivots_block" and its intended goal of providing module recommendations is indeed useful to the community. So we are going to switch back to "pivots_block", and continue to make improvements to it.

One thing we learned from this study was that users seem to like more "serendipity" in the "pivots_block". One problem for the current algorithm is that the recommended modules for a particular module remains quite stable over time. And we are going to try out an approach of adding a little bit variability to the recommendations.

The new algorithm is coming soon!

I see what you mean.
So the Pivot block is like an indicator to all forum users then...

I see alot of diet pill users who also keep diet pill reviews for themselves to keep track of what they have lost.

I think this is quite important for any researcher; to keep an uptodate journal of your daily progress.

New figures provided to music labels show Nokia's Comes With Music unlimited music service has had a relatively poor uptake despite having a year to expand. Data from July obtained by Music Ally shows just 107,227 active users worldwide for the service, which lets buyers of specially-labeled phones get a year's worth of unlimited music downloads they can keep after the subscription ends.

Recently, as it was said by U.S. media, Michelle Obama tanked topped on an election about the most glamorous women conducted by the professionals. tiffany jewelry Nothing deserves your wondering why such sweeties like Angelina Jolie and Gisele Bundchen are left behind. tiffany jewelry Just simply imagine that what will happen if the women like them are in the office. So clear the answer. tiffany jewelry Having no advantages in face and figure, Michelle Obama, however, draws the admiration of the majority of people for her sensitive taste on fashion and capacity on dresses and tiffany jewelry. tiffany jewelry Taking her age, taste, status, and figure into consideration, global women in the middle class get an ideal example to follow. tiffany rings As for the women in high positions, they also finally get a good charms icon to imitate. tiffany sale Michelle Obama likes to wear pearls, as we all know, but you know what she also tries to terrace the jewels. For instance, she ever wore Cartier upon tiffany jewelry, winning most women's compliments. tiffany shop That's because lamination keeps the attention of eyes, increasing the sense of gradation. It is too hard for her to be ignored under that kind of luxury and glamour. tiffany jewelry But the brilliance of these jewelries requires people having certain status, abilities, qualities, as well as experience, being suitable for professional women in high positions. tiffany jewelry In order to be confident among women in the same class, these women do need some distinctive diamond jewellery. tiffany jewelry But as for young ladies, lamination of diamonds is too dear. Besides, lamination is just a fashion to them, so Tiffanys or Channel silver jewelries couldn't be better for them. tiffany rings Pay attention to the first lady, focus on the fashion, and enjoy wonderful life as office ladies. tiffany pendants
