Abstract

The presently disclosed subject matter includes at least a method, system and a program storage device of estimating click through rate (CTR) of a pair of source and recommendation, the source comprising a plurality of slots, each slot configured to present a served recommendation. The CTR estimation is performed by first determining an estimated calibration CTR coefficient for each slot and then using this information for calculating an estimated CTR of a given slot when served with a given recommendation in a given source.
