Abstract
In one embodiment, client-side programs are employed to observe the navigation of consumers to various websites. Addresses of web pages viewed by consumers may be used to fetch the web pages. A fetched web page may be parsed for one or more keywords. The relevance of the web page to a keyword may be ranked according to consumer preferences, which may relate to consumer interaction with the web page. Web pages and their ranking information may be stored in an index. The index may be consulted to find links to web pages relevant to a keyword employed in a search request.
