Systems and methods are disclosed for managing the display of online ad content consistent with one or more e-commerce objectives. A collection module may be operable to collect attribute values for a set of attributes characterizing user visits to a set of training webpages and subsequent attribute values for a subsequent user visit to a subsequent webpage. A model-generation module may be operable to train a probability model with the attribute values that predicts outcomes for at least one performance metric. A display module may be operable to determine whether to display ad content on the subsequent webpage for the subsequent user visit depending on whether a predicted outcome from the probability model that is relevant to the subsequent attribute values is consistent with one or more e-commerce objectives. The probability model may be a decision tree with different predicted outcomes for different combinations of attribute values.
