Enhancing virally-marketed facilities
First Claim
1. A memory having stored thereon a set of instructions which when executed causes a processor to perform a method for automatic website adjustment based on website performance determined by tracking at least one performance metric indicating a rate of viral growth that is modeled by a virality function, the method, comprising:
- collecting performance data related for determining performance of a current implementation of the website, the data comprising measurement of the at least one performance metric indicating the rate of viral growth which indicates website usage;
identifying an option for improvement of the website using the performance data;
analyzing the option for improvement by implementing the option as a test variation;
adjusting the website based on the option for improvement;
determining expected usage trajectory of the website by measuring the viral growth of the website;
wherein, the virality function is modeled as having a discrete time scale;
wherein, the discrete time scale is a week;
computing overlapping models to remove fluctuations within the week.

Abstract
A method and apparatus for enhancing a virally marketed facility is described and illustrated. In one embodiment, the invention is a method of operating a virally marketed facility. The method includes measuring virality of the facility based on a conversion rate and a propagation rate. The method also includes determining potential options for increasing virality. The method further includes executing potential options for increasing virality. In an alternate embodiment, the invention is a method of operating a virally marketed facility. The method includes measuring virality of the facility. Also, the method includes determining potential options for increasing virality. Further, the method includes concurrently executing potential options for increasing virality.
