Abstract:
The present invention generally relates to a computerized system and method for tracking and displaying data identifying the geographic relevance of website listings on Internet search engines, parked web pages, ISP redirect web pages, and other similar web listing services without requiring extra input from Internet users. Each time an Internet user clicks on a website link provided on one of these web services, the software of the present invention tracks that person's decision in selecting the link, along with his or her geographic location. The software automatically collects and stores this information in a database in a format that can be quickly accessed and used in the future when other Internet users perform the same keyword search or visit the parked/redirect page again. Based on this stored information, the software automatically sends signals to the Internet user's computer that causes his or her web browser to display data and graphics that indicate whether the websites listed on the web page has been frequently visited and found to be popular by other Internet users in various geographic areas. As a result, the software of the present invention enables search engines, parked/redirect web pages, and other similar web services to be automatically organized by popularity within a geographic region. Moreover, each time data is collected by this software (e.g., when a user selects a link), the search engine and parked page will grow naturally and intelligently, thereby becoming more and more useful to the Internet user.

Abstract:
A computer-implemented method includes the steps of accessing, using one or more processors, data relating to visitors who have visited one or more websites, determining, using one or more processors, geographic areas corresponding to locations of the visitors, receiving, using one or more processors, one or more signals indicating a first request to provide at least a portion of data to be provided on a webpage, determining, using one or more processors, a geographic area from where the request originates; generating, using one or more processors, a subset of the data that pertains to the requested data based on: relevancy of the requested data to the geographic area from where the request originates, and relevancy of the requested data to the visitors that are located in or near the geographic area from where the request originates; and providing, using one or more processors, the subset of the data; and providing, using one or more processors, data that indicates whether or not the visitors found each item in the subset to be relevant to one or more geographic regions related to the geographic area from where the request originates.

Abstract:
A computer-implemented method and system acceses data from user computers related to corresponding users who have referenced one or more websites. Geographic areas corresponding to locations of the users are determined. One or more signals indicating a request to provide at least a portion of data to be provided on a webpage are received from a requestor computer, where the at least a portion of data relates to the one or more websites. A request geographic area from where the request originates is determined. A subset of the data that pertains to the requested data based on relevancy of the requested data to the request geographic area and relevancy of the requested data to the user geographic areas located inside and outside the request geographic area is generated. The subset of the data is provided. Data is provided to the requestor's computer that indicates whether or not the users found each item in the subset to be relevant to the user geographic areas located inside and outside the request geographic area. An interface is provided to the requestor's computer for reorganizing the subset according to each of the one or more user geographic areas located inside and outside the request geographic area.
