Abstract: Select portions of product channel data collected by a product channel participant and stored in a data warehouse are periodically extracted based on a previously determined template. The extracted subset of product channel data is thereafter transformed so that the format of the data complies with that of the requesting enterprise. Once transformed, one or more rule sets is applied to the subset of transformed data to guarantee that the information complies with requirements set forth by the enterprise yet does not violate any disclosure rules of the product channel participant. Thereafter and on a scheduled basis, the transformed and validated data is delivered to a delivery server from which the enterprise can retrieve the data at its convenience.

Abstract: Disclosed are methods for processing distribution channel data integrating business information with geographic data to produce integrated data, wherein the integrated data has greater resolution than the business information. Distribution channel data is captured and correlated with the integrated data to increase the resolution of the distribution channel data.

Abstract: A plurality of geographic locations can be individually associated with separate web pages by identifying and placing in a database geographic specific content. By linking geographic location to specific content housed within the database and then using that content to populate a hypertext markup language (HTML) web page template, a plurality of individual customized web pages can be created that are both indexable and extractable. Each level of data within the database comprises geographic specific data common to a region or location that is the focus of the web page. The structured nature of the database data enables web crawlers or indexers which are associated with various search engines to identify each specific level by way of the particular file much like that of a link within an existing web page.

Abstract: A merchant portal accessible by a user via the Internet searches for a product using typical search techniques. The merchant portal returns to the user a list of merchants in an identified geographic location. For each listed merchant, a token is created that associates the inquiry and the merchant. Once a token has been generated, financial transactions at the merchant are monitored for the time corresponding to the life of the token. When a transaction occurs at a merchant involving the user, a report is generated associating that sale with the inquiry. Based on the sale, a fee for directing the user to the merchant is generated.
