System and method for increasing traffic to websites
View Patent ↗The present document describes a system and method for changing volume of traffic to a website. The system comprises: a user database and a promotional server in communication with each other. The user database comprises user accounts. Each account is associated with a user identification and is also for keeping track of benefits. The promotional server is configured to perform the steps of: detecting an access request to the website by a user from a Web browser; consulting a user database to identify the user from the access request; identifying a method of calling the website from a value of a field or a value of a variable in the access request; from at least one of the identity of the user and the method of calling the website, establishing, by consulting a promotions database, a determined amount; increasing a value of the points field associated to the user in the user database by the determined amount; sending instructions to the Web browser to display one of: information indicative of at least one of an increase in, and the possibility to increase, the points field associated to the user in the user database, the points field being representative of a benefit to the user; and information indicative of the possibility for the user to register in the user database.
1. A method for changing volume of traffic to a website, the method comprising:
detecting an access request to the website by a user from a Web browser;
consulting a user database to identify the user from the access request;
identifying a method of calling the website from a value of a field or a value of a variable in the access request;
consulting a promotions database to establish a determined amount corresponding to entries for at least one of the identity of the user and the method of calling the website;
increasing a value of a points field associated to the user in the user database by the determined amount;
sending instructions to the Web browser to display one of:
information indicative of at least one of an increase in, and the possibility to increase, the points field associated to the user in the user database, the points field being representative of a benefit to the user; and
information indicative of the possibility for the user to register in the user database; and
opening two exchanges between the Web browser and the website, a first of the two exchanges is made via a public field of the Web browser and a second of the two exchanges is made via a private field of the Web browser.
2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising sending data to fill the public field of the Web browser using public instructions of the website.
3. The method of claim 2 , further comprising sending data to fill the private field of the Web browser using private instructions of the website.
4. The method of claim 2 , further comprising the public instructions sending an order to connecting instructions to process the access request.
5. The method of claim 4 , further comprising the connecting instructions attributing an identification to the access request and performing the identifying the method of calling.
6. The method of claim 5 , further comprising the connecting instructions encrypting the calling method and identification of the access request and sending the encrypted calling method and identification of the access request to an invisible connection field of the Web browser.
7. The method of claim 6 , further comprising the invisible connection field launching a call to private instructions of a centralized web site which in turn sends data to fill the private field of the Web browser.
8. The method of claim 5 , further comprising the connecting instructions sending the calling method and identification of the access request to private instructions of a back office centralized website.
9. The method of claim 8 , further comprising the private instructions sending data to fill the private field of the Web browser via the connecting instructions.
