Abstract: A computer system implements a method to redirect a user request containing a keyword to a target URL. Once received by the system, the user request is processed to extract the keyword. The keyword is then utilized to retrieve a target URL associated with the keyword. Such association is pre-established by the collective intelligence of a user community. The collective intelligence of the user community builds consensuses in establishing keyword-URL associations. After the target URL is retrieved, the user request is redirected to the target URL, as a response to the original user request received.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method, system and computer program for affording Virtual Affiliates access to an existing affiliate system. First, having been assigned a unique identifier within a source affiliate system, a Webmaster operates a web site. Next, a request for a target Merchant Web site triggers a correlation function, such that the source Webmaster unique identifier is correlated to a target Webmaster unique identifier functional within the unique identification system of the requested Merchant system. Next, a properly formatted entry mechanism URL is returned, enabling a hand off to the target Merchant affiliate system and including the correlated target Webmaster unique identifier. The Virtual Affiliate system is notified of transactions that originated from a referring Webmaster. Referring Webmasters may be compensated for each completed transaction according to agreed-upon terms and conditions.
