1. A computer-implemented system for matching a first entity from a first plurality of entities and a second entity from a second plurality of entities, the system comprising:
- a. a first user interface portion for receiving at least one general requirement;
b. a second user interface portion for receiving at least one user-generated keyword being indicative of at least one characteristic of the first entity;
c. a third user interface portion for receiving a bid value or importance value corresponding to the at least one user-generated keyword;
d. a matching portion for generating a match results based on the general requirement, the at least one user-generated keyword and the bid value or importance value; and
e. a connection establishing portion for establishing a connection between the first entity and the second entity using the match results, wherein upon stabling the connection, the first entity and the second entity are each automatically charged an amount of money based on the bid value.

Abstract
Computer-implemented systems and methods that enable matching people and/or entities while creating financial disincentives to prevent people and/or entities from over-marketing themselves to their counterparts. The system is implemented as a computerized pay-per-click matching system between two complementary population groups utilizing predefined generalized criteria and user-generated keywords with associated user-defined bid values.
