1. A computer implemented method for scoring a first network node comprising data accessible to a user when connected to the network, comprising the steps of:
- (a) determining at least an approximate probability for the first network node that a user not connected to the node will connect to the first node before connecting to any other node; and
(b) assigning a score to the node based at least in part on the determined probability.

Abstract
A computer implemented method for scoring a first network node comprising data accessible to a user when connected to the network has steps of (a) determining at least an approximate probability for the first network node that a user not connected to the node will connect to the first node before connecting to any other node; and (b) assigning a score to the node based at least in part on the determined probability.

5. A system for scoring a specific network node comprising data accessible to a user when connected to the network, comprising:
-
a network-connected server having a data store comprising probability data regarding a plurality of network nodes, including the specific network node, the data indicating at least an approximate probability that a user not connected to the specific node will connect to the specific node before connecting to any other node in the network; and a mechanism for determining a score for the specific node; wherein the mechanism for determining a score determines the score for the specific node at least in part based on the approximate probability. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10)
