## Abstract

Exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure are directed towards a computer implemented methods and system for distribution of revenue generated in response to activities performed in a search network. The method includes identifying a revenue generated in response to a type of an activity involved in generating the revenue in a search network; and distributing the revenue generated among a plurality of stake holders of the search network based on a predetermined percentage driven criteria employed in the search network.

## Claims

### Claim 1

identifying a revenue generated in response to a type of an activity involved in generating the revenue in a search network; and
distributing the revenue generated among a plurality of stake holders of the search network based on a predetermined percentage driven criteria employed in the search network.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the plurality of stake holders comprising:
a user conducting search in the search network;
an owner of at least one keyword used by the user in the search network;
an owner of the search network; and
an owner of an application of the search network, whereby the application of the search network used by the user for conducting the search.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the type of activity involved in generating the revenue in the search network comprising:
publishing advertisements in response to the user conducting search in the search network;
trading of the at least one keyword in the search network; and
renewal of the at least one keyword in the search network.

### Claim 4 (depends on 3)
