Abstract
A system and method for distributing information (collectively the 'system') is disclosed. The system includes category-based, geography-based, and ratings-based attributes to better 'focus' the information distributed by the system. In the processing of listing-based attributes (e.g. attributes limited to a particular listing), the system can also be influenced by relationship-based attributes (e.g. attributes between the administrator of the system and the advertisers, and even potentially users).
