Publication number: 20120331128Abstract: A method and a system for managing a website are disclosed, the website being arranged on a server. According to the method, a website administrator initially performs changes to content of the website. Then the traffic to the website is analysed, including obtaining information regarding value generated for the website owner by the traffic, and the impact on the value generated for the website owner by the traffic, due to the performed changes, is evaluated. In the case that the evaluating step reveals that the performed changes decrease the value generated for the website owner by the traffic, a warning is generated for the website administrator. Thereby the website administrator is alerted if the changed content causes the value generated for the website owner by the visitors visiting the website to decrease, thereby allowing the website administrator to reverse the changes and/or perform further changes to the content in order to once again increase the generated value.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 27, 2011Publication date: December 27, 2012Applicant: SITECORE A/SInventors: Michael SEIFERT, Jacob Hjort CHRISTENSEN, Lars Fløe NIELSEN
