Abstract

Systems and methods for monitoring user interactions with keywords associated with a brand or words and phrases within the brand, present within a network resource and for enhancing user experience related to access of a network resource are described. A first computing device maintains a network resource and provides the resource and an agent to a second computing device. The agent monitors user interactions with the network resource when the network resource is displayed on the second computing device. The user interactions include implicit interaction.

Claims (17)

1 . A system for monitoring user interactions with keywords associated with a brand or words and phrases within the brand, present within a network resource comprising:

a first computing device configured to communicate with a network, wherein the first computing device maintains a network resource;

an agent that is provided to the second computing device concurrently with the network resource and that is configured to capture one or more implicit interaction by a user with elements of the network resource when at least a portion of the network resource is displayed on the second computing device,

wherein information associated with the implicit interaction is communicated to one of the first computing device and a third computing device configured to analyze the information for the presence of one or more words corresponding to branded materials.

2 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the information comprises at least one of a universal resource locator, a title associated with the network resource, a metatag associated with the network resource, and information provided by a search engine referral or redirect initiated based on the implicit interaction.

6 . The method of claim 5 , wherein maintaining the first historical database includes generating the first historical database based on a search term used by the user.

7 . The method of claim 5 , wherein maintaining the first historical database includes generating the first historical database based on a search term used by the user.
