Embodiment Construction

[0020] The Internet provides a user a quick and efficient direction to a particular web site if the user knows the exact web site address. The majority of Internet users properly type in the exact address of the web site that they are seeking and thus are directed to such sites. However, a user will quite often type in an address that is not recognized, thereby leading the user to an error page or a specific search engine page. Such undesired direction of the user is considered as unwanted, unused or unresolved traffic. Another popular name for URL addresses that lead to no proper destination is “trash traffic.”

[0021] The present invention offers a recycling solution to trash traffic by directing such trash traffic to a particular predetermined location. Such predetermined location may be a search engine or an advertising page or some combination of both or other page that allows the controller to benefit from the redirection of the user traffic. Such a controller may be, for exampl...

Abstract

An Internet traffic redirection architecture is disclosed that allows for directing of trash traffic to specified sites. The system or method allows a controller, such as an ISP, to benefit from mistyped Internet addresses so that participating partners of the ISP are presented to the customer when the requests a web site that is not found or does not exist. The system decreases lost traffic by means of capturing unresolved “trash” traffic on the Internet and redirecting said traffic to a search engine partner and/or other partners.

Field of the Invention [0003] The present invention relates generally to traffic direction within a communications network. More specifically, the present invention relates to systems and methods for directing communication traffic to a specified location when an original location is not reachable. [0004] 2. Background of the Invention [0005] Directing search traffic on the web is a common and lucrative process. For example, popular web browsers, such as Microsoft Internet Explorer, typically redirect misspelled and mistyped web pages on to the web browser's own personal incomplete search page, such as MSN Search. Such search pages provide the user with poss...
