Abstract

According to various exemplary embodiments, it is determined that a particular user is associated with a particular member segment of a networking website. Further, a task prioritization list associated with the particular member segment is accessed. The task prioritization list may include a prioritized list of profile update tasks associated with successful user profile pages of the particular member segment. Moreover, a prompt is displayed inviting the particular user to update the particular user profile page based on the task prioritization list (e.g., by referring to the member segment and at least one of the tasks in the task prioritization list).

Claims (53)

1 . A method performed by one or more processors, the method comprising:

determining that a particular user is associated with a particular member segment of a networking website, based on content of a particular user profile page associated with the particular user;

accessing, using the one or more processors, a task prioritization list associated with the particular member segment, the task prioritization list including a prioritized list of profile update tasks associated with successful user profile pages of the particular member segment; and

displaying a prompt that invites the particular user to update the particular user profile page, based on the task prioritization list.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the particular member segment corresponds to users of the networking website that are associated with a specific career track.

3 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

determining a highest priority task in the task prioritization list that is applicable to the particular user profile page; and

displaying the determined task in the prompt.

4 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

detecting that the particular user has completed or skipped a task in the task prioritization list;

revising user task history information associated with the particular user based on the detected user action; and

displaying a prompt identifying a next applicable task in the task prioritization list, based on the user task history information.

5 . The method of claim 4 , further comprising:

detecting subsequent user login to the networking website;

accessing the user task history information associated with the particular user; and

displaying the prompt identifying the next applicable task in the task prioritization list, based on the user task history information.

6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the prompt identifies at least one of: the particular member segment associated with the particular user; and an advantage of performing the task.

7 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the prompt includes a reference link to a user profile completion webpage that includes instructions for updating the first user profile page.

8 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the particular user is determined to be associated with the particular member segment, based on at least one of an experience listing and an education listing included in the particular user profile page.

9 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the task prioritization list is generated based on analytics of successful user profile pages associated with the particular member segment.

10 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the task prioritization list is generated by:

associating a plurality of users with the particular member segment, based on content of a plurality of user profile pages associated with the plurality of users;

classifying a subset of the plurality of the user profile pages as successful member segment user profile pages; and

generating a list of common characteristics of the successful member segment user profile pages.

11 . The method of claim 10 , wherein each of the plurality of users are associated with the particular member segment based on at least one of an experience listing and an education listing included in the user profile page of the respective user.

12 . The method of claim 10 , wherein the subset of the plurality of the user profile pages are classified as the successful member segment user profile pages, based at least on one of: a view count associated with each user profile page in the subset; a search result visibility ranking associated with each user profile page in the subset; and a number of connections associated with each user profile page in the subset.

13 . An apparatus comprising:

a determination module configured to

determine that a particular user is associated with a particular member segment of a networking website, based on content of a particular user profile page associated with the particular user, and

a task prioritization module implemented by one or more processors and configured to:

access a task prioritization list associated with the particular member segment, the task prioritization list including a prioritized list of profile update tasks associated with successful user profile pages of the particular member segment; and

display a prompt that invites the particular user to update the particular user profile page, based on the task prioritization list.

14 . The apparatus of claim 13 , wherein the task prioritization module is further configured to:

determine a highest priority task in the task prioritization list that is applicable to the particular user profile page; and

display the determined task in the prompt.

15 . The apparatus of claim 13 , wherein the task prioritization module is further configured to:

detecting that the particular user has completed or skipped a task in the task prioritization list;

revise user task history information associated with the particular user based on the detected user action; and

display a prompt identifying a next applicable task in the task prioritization list, based on the user task history information.

16 . The apparatus of claim 15 , wherein the task prioritization module is further configured to:

detect subsequent user login to the networking website;

access the user task history information associated with the particular user; and

display the prompt identifying the next applicable task in the task prioritization list, based on the user task history information.

17 . The apparatus of claim 13 , wherein the apparatus is further configured to generate the task prioritization list by:

associating a plurality of users with the particular member segment, based on content of a plurality of user profile pages associated with the plurality of users;

classifying a subset of the plurality of the user profile pages as successful member segment user profile pages; and

generating a list of common characteristics of the successful member segment user profile pages.

18 . The apparatus of claim 17 , wherein the task prioritization module is further configured to associate each of the plurality of users with the particular member segment, based on at least one of an experience listing and an education listing included in the user profile page of the respective user.

19 . The apparatus of claim 17 , wherein the task prioritization module is further configured to classify the subset of the plurality of the user profile pages as the successful member segment user profile pages, based at least on one of: a view count associated with each user profile page in the subset; a search result visibility ranking associated with each user profile page in the subset; and a number of connections associated with each user profile page in the subset.

20 . A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium having embodied thereon instructions executable by one or more machines to perform operations comprising:

determining that a particular user is associated with a particular member segment of the networking website, based on content of a particular user profile page associated with the particular user;

accessing a task prioritization list associated with the particular member segment, the task prioritization list including a prioritized list of profile update tasks associated with successful user profile pages of the particular member segment; and

displaying a prompt that invites the particular user to update the particular user profile page, based on the task prioritization list.
