Abstract
A publisher union comprises a plurality of publishers, a channel, and a publisher union administrator. The publisher union is administered by receiving a channel proposal, determining whether the channel proposal is acceptable, forming a channel, and presenting the channel for monetization. User information is gathered by the publisher union by establishing a domain, collecting user information, aggregating the user information, and providing the aggregated user information to publisher union members.
