Patent number: 10205623Abstract: A method and system for the efficient customization of website tracking data includes a data collector with a user interface for assigning custom events and attributes to events occurring on a website. The data collector receives custom tracking data from the website in response to the occurrence of an event to be tracked. Customization of tracking data is achieved through the use of an embedded tracking code and associated data collection file. The embedded tracking code is configured to report tracking data customized for the website. The data collection server is configured via a graphical user interface to receive and store the customized tracking data. A configuration string from the data collector is inserted into the data collection file on the web site. In this manner, the data collection server and website is customized to collect customized tracking data efficiently without assistance from others.Type: GrantFiled: June 26, 2003Date of Patent: February 12, 2019Assignee: Adobe Systems IncorporatedInventors: Brett Error, Chris Error, Brian Curran

Patent number: 9529859Abstract: Node sequence data, such as website visitation records, are filtered, analyzed, and summarized in reports. An administrator can designate particular target paths of interest in terms of a checkpoint node sequence. Node sequences are filtered based on the checkpoint node sequence, without regard to any additional or tangential nodes appearing in the sequences. In addition, node sequences can be specified in terms of specific nodes of interest along with wild cards. Reports depict the relative frequency of occurrence of node sequences using visual indicators such as line thickness and/or color.Type: GrantFiled: May 26, 2014Date of Patent: December 27, 2016Assignee: Adobe Systems IncorporatedInventors: Brett Error, John Pestana

Patent number: 8825849Abstract: A distributed, redundant, multi-homed system collects and aggregates website usage information. Two or more data collection nodes, preferably situated in diverse locations, efficiently collect and time-stamp information from users in a wide variety of geographic locations. Data collected by the individual data collection nodes is aggregated at a master processing center, sorted according to time stamps, and subjected to statistical analysis in order to generate complete and accurate reports regarding website traffic.Type: GrantFiled: March 23, 2012Date of Patent: September 2, 2014Assignee: Adobe Systems IncorporatedInventor: Brett Error

Publication number: 20070168255Abstract: A system for classifying and managing keywords across multiple campaigns comprises a classification manager, a bid management system, a web analytics tool and a search engine. The classification manager interfaces with the bid management system and the web analytics tool to provide user interfaces for reviewing data about specific keywords across multiple campaigns. The classification manager includes a classification keyword repository, a classification creation module, a classification measurement module and a classification user interface module for generating the user interface. This is particularly advantageous because statistics corresponding to keywords can be classified across multiple campaigns to provide greater flexibility in the analysis of web data. The present invention also includes a novel method for the classification of keywords across multiple campaigns.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 5, 2007Publication date: July 19, 2007Inventors: Richard Zinn, Brett Error

Publication number: 20070100811Abstract: The present invention overcomes the deficiencies and limitations of the prior art by providing a direct tracking module for keywords. In one embodiment, the system comprises a direct tracking module, a bid management system, a web analytics tool and a search engine. The direct tracking module interfaces with the bid management system to provide user interfaces for reviewing data about specific keyword and ads/text pairs. The direct tracking module uses unique codes to provide specific information about which combination of keyword and text generated specific Web traffic, such as traffic that generated a sale. This is particularly advantageous because the keyword/text pairs that generate a large number of sales can be reused to generate future traffic. Similarly, keyword/text pairs that do not generate Web traffic can be eliminated from the words that are purchased by the advertiser.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 28, 2006Publication date: May 3, 2007Inventors: Brett Error, Richard Zinn

Publication number: 20070100992Abstract: A system compares website visitation data sets in response to receiving user input. The system includes a client for processing the input to define one or more data sets as a query to a network, which returns the requested data. The system calculates, for at least one website visitation metric, a difference between values of the website visitation metric for the data sets, and displays one or more reports. In addition, reports can be further adjusted per additional data input. The results enable users to analyze the effects of combinations of factors.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 18, 2006Publication date: May 3, 2007Inventors: Catherine Wong, Christopher Error, Brett Error

Publication number: 20070100993Abstract: Systems and methods enable displaying an indication of traffic quality. The system retrieves keyword or other traffic data for at least one keyword associated with at least one search engine. The system compares the traffic data for a first time period to the traffic data for a second time period, according to one or more date ranges and other parameters selected by a user for each time period. As a result of the comparison, an indication of the traffic quality associated with a disparity between the first time period data and the second time period data, if any, is displayed.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 18, 2006Publication date: May 3, 2007Inventors: Dipendra Malhotra, Brett Error

Publication number: 20060277585Abstract: A system and method for defining a segment for filtering website visitation data is disclosed. The method allows for creation and editing of a segment using various rules. The rules are defined using events and containers, which act as criteria by which the data is filtered. The system displays the segments and allows the user to apply them to stored data.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 20, 2005Publication date: December 7, 2006Inventors: Christopher Error, Brett Error

Publication number: 20060277211Abstract: A system displays and filters reports including website visitation data in response to receiving user input. The system includes a client for processing the input as a query to a network, which returns the requested data. The system and accompanying method provide a user interface for incrementally adjusting report data and tailoring reports to user specifications. In addition, adjusted reports can be further adjusted per additional data input. The results are returned virtually instantaneously, enabling users to analyze the effects of combinations of factors.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 20, 2005Publication date: December 7, 2006Inventor: Brett Error
