Abstract: A signal, system, software, user interface, and method to increase effectiveness of a networked site. The method monitors activity associated with the networked site, and compares this monitored activity with an acceptable level of activity, determined by the method, associated with the networked site. The method is further configured to automatically adjust characteristics associated with the networked site such that the monitored activity associated with the networked site approaches the acceptable activity level associated with the networked site. The networked site can be enabled for electronic commerce activities or a myriad of other activities.
