| 20120066216 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR QUANTIFYING VISIBILITY WITHIN SEARCH ENGINES - Disclosed herein are systems, methods, and computer-readable media for quantifying visibility into a search engine and into search results for a specific query into a search engine. A system configured to practice the method obtains a first set of search results from a search engine, using a name of an entity and at least one additional search term relating to attributes of the entity, and obtains a second set of search results, from the search engine, using the name without the at least one additional search term. The system determines what search results in the first set of search results are in the second set of search results. Then the system can generate an indicator that relates information about how many results from the first set of search results were in the second set of search results to a total number of results in the first set of search results. | 03-15-2012 |
| 20110055400 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS OF HANDLING INTERNET SPIDERS - Aspects relate to identifying Internet spiders with an approach involving a plurality of instances of one or more URLs, which reference resources available from a first domain. Instances of the URLs are distributed at other Internet domains. Spiders crawling those domains will activate those URL instances, resulting in requests for the resources referenced by the URLs. A generator of a number of requests for the same resource, from a potential multitude of URL instances, can cause the generator to be categorized as a spider. Similarly, a generator of a number of requests for resources identified by different URLs also can be categorized as spider behavior. In some cases, the first domain may not have a browseable site infrastructure with, such that a spider would not readily crawl it by following internal links. The URLs can refer to custom queries created by various users, who can provide the URLs on their pages, such as on social networking sites. | 03-03-2011 |
| 20110055190 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MONITORING USAGE OF PREDEFINED INTERNET SEARCH QUERIES - A user interface aids in creation of customized pre-defined queries that can be used for identifying particular search results relevant to a topic. Provision can be made to allow express inclusion or exclusion of certain results. Metrics relating to how much the pre-defined query focuses the search can be provided. A pre-defined query can be referenced by a URL, which can be distributed or referenced in content available in any number of locations. When results of the pre-defined search change, a contact associated with the search query can be notified. When a URL is activated, a redirect to the search engine with the customized query can occur, and the contact associated with the query can be notified of the usage of the pre-defined query. Metrics concerning sources of query usage can be produced, based on data gathered while serving the pre-defined query requests. | 03-03-2011 |
