Abstract
Distribution of content items provided by content producer computers to content consumer computers via a computer network is controlled and indications of different interactions with content items contained in messages distributed to content consumer computers are tracked. The different interactions with content items occur at the content consumer computers. Content items are indexed and ranked indications of at least some indexed content items are output in response to search queries. Tracking indications of different interactions with indexed content items occurs at the content consumer computers. Indications of different interactions with content items contained in messages distributed to content consumer computers and with indexed content items outputted in response to search queries are quantified. Content items are ranked based on the indications of different interactions.
