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.
Claims50
A method to increase effectiveness of a networked site comprising the steps of:
- maintaining at least one user selectable item on a network site, the user selectable item having at least one characteristic;
- monitoring activity associated with the network site;
- and
- automatically adjusting the at least one characteristic in response to the step of monitoring activity associated with the network site such that a change in activity associated with the network site can be achieved.
A computer readable medium tangibly embodying a program of instructions implementing a method to increase effectiveness of a networked site comprising the steps of:
- maintaining at least one user selectable item on a network site, the user selectable item having at least one characteristic;
- monitoring activity associated with the network site;
- and
- automatically adjusting the at least one characteristic in response to the step of monitoring activity associated with the network site such that a change in activity associated with the network site can be achieved.
A signal embodied in a propagation medium configured to increase effectiveness of a networked site comprising:
- at least one instruction configured to maintain at least one user selectable item on a network site, said user selectable item having at least one characteristic;
- at least one instruction configured to monitor activity associated with said network site;
- and
- at least one instruction configured to automatically adjust said at least one characteristic in response to the said at least one instruction configured to monitor activity associated with said network site such that a change in activity associated with said network site can be achieved.
A user interface configured to:
- maintain at least one user selectable item on a network site, said user selectable item having at least one characteristic;
- monitor activity associated with said network site;
- and
- automatically adjust said at least one characteristic in response to said monitored activity associated with said network site such that a change in activity associated with said network site can be achieved.
An information handling system comprising:
- at least one processor;
- memory operably associated with said processor;
- at least one communications adapter operably associated with said processor and said memory;
- and
- a user interface configured to:
- maintain at least one user selectable item on a network site, said user selectable item having at least one characteristic;
- monitor activity associated with said network site;
- and
- automatically adjust said at least one characteristic in response to said monitored activity associated with said network site such that a change in activity associated with said network site can be achieved.
