    Abstract: The present invention is directed to Web site establishments on the Internet, presently referred as Portals, Anchor Sites, Search Engines, Infomediaries, or Regional Theme Sites™. Specifically, the present invention relates to a novel method and apparatus (FIG. 3) for a Web site establishment (7), to create a business affiliation with outside business customers (21). Because of the revolutionary features, nature, and class of Web site created as a result of this invention, along with the fact that the outside business customers interact with similar outside business customers in a collaborative and non-combative arrangement, the Web site establishment could be more appropriately labeled a “collaborative Portal” or “coPortal” (7).
