Abstract
A web page, including clickthroughs, is cached at a location within a network intermediate a client requesting the page and the host web site for the page. Clickthrough activation (in session cache on the client machine, or in the network cache) causes a javascript program to generate an activation identifier giving the IP address of the machine activating the clickthrough and the time. This ID and an ID for the IP address from which the web page originally hosting the clickthrough was retrieved are sent to the host web site. Generating such identifiers is applicable to text messages, e.g. sent out by a publicity agent, and actuable to connect to a telephone number held by an enterprise within the telephone network. Activating such a text message causes the return of suitable identifiers to the publicity agent to enable them to seek renumeration from the enterprise.
