The present invention extends to methods, systems, computer program products, and data structures for filtering cached content based on embedded URLs. A computer system accesses a URL that corresponds to cached content. The computer system identifies an embedded URL included in the accessed URL. The embedded URL corresponds to a site that was accessed to retrieve the cached content. The computer system extracts the embedded URL from the accessed URL. The computer system determines whether or not access to the cached content is to be allowed based on the embedded URL.

Filtering cached content based on embedded URLs

A log file from a server is analyzed and entries in the log file are deleted, combined, or condensed to create a list of page views that more accurately reflects traffic to a server. The list of page views may be added to a database for searching, sorting, and analyzing the page views.

System and method for conducting network analytics

The present invention extends to methods, systems, and computer program products for dynamically rating Internet content. A computer receives an indication that at least one URL is available to be rated and that resources (e.g., a content rater) are available for rating the URL. The computer selects a URL, which identifies a portion of Internet content, and transfers the URL to at least two different content classifiers. The computer accesses first rating data corresponding to the identified portion of Internet from a first content classifier. The computer accesses second rating data corresponding to the identified portion of Internet from a second content classifier. The computer combines at least the first rating data and the second rating data into a combined rating corresponding to a specified content category. The computer indicates that the identified portion of Internet content is included in the specified content category.
