Abstract
A method for storing a user evaluation of distributed content comprising an Evaluation Program (EP) that creates a user session when a user accesses distributed content. The user evaluation is saved with other information such as the time and date of the evaluation, the user'"'"'s personal information, and the navigation path the user used to access the distributed content page. The EP records the user'"'"'s navigation of the distributed content in the user session. The EP gives the user the opportunity to rate distributed content. The EP saves the user'"'"'s evaluation with the user session data and external stimuli data. The EP closes the user session when the user leaves the distributed content. The EP reopens the user session when the user returns to the distributed content.
