Abstract: A method including interacting with a promotion code provider programmatically, providing a promotion code to a validation function of the promotion code provider, and evaluating a response from the promotion code provider. The act of interacting with a promotion code provider can include controlling an interface that simulates user actions, such as but not limited to controlling an in-memory web browser through an API, where the API provides a set of functions for simulating user actions. Accordingly, the method can be used to quickly and easily determine whether one or more promotion codes, such as online coupons, are valid.

Abstract: A method for maximizing commissions received from directing consumers to online retailers. The method can include retrieving deal content from a plurality of deal providers, wherein each deal provider provides deal content including at least one of a content affiliate link and a promotion, identifying at least one deal that is substantially duplicative by examining the retrieved deal content to determine that the at least one deal is represented by deal content from at least two deal providers, and organizing the deal content based on a priority of the publisher, wherein the priority includes at least one of a monetary commission resulting from the use of the content affiliate link or promotion, a payout schedule related to the monetary commission, and a working relationship with the deal provider. Accordingly, the method can be used to maximize commissions associated with content affiliate links or promotions.

Abstract: A method for generating online deal summaries. The method can include receiving primary deal content from an affiliate network, recognizing deal data from the received primary deal content using a computer processor, searching for and receiving secondary deal from a resource other than the affiliate network, wherein the secondary deal content includes graphical and textual representations, and generating a detailed deal summary, wherein the detailed deal summary includes the graphical and textual representations from the secondary deal content and deal data from the primary deal content. Accordingly, the method can be used to generate a more visually and engaging experience for consumers using secondary deal content in addition to or replacement of primary deal content.
