1. A method comprising:
- accessing, by one or more computing devices over a network, a data store of user behavior information for data related to one or more attributes of a content object and tags relating to the content object, the user behavior information comprises information relating to search activities conducted by one or more users, the tags comprising information relating to a subject of the content object and rendering of the content object;
determining, by the one or more computing devices, one or more measures of interest for the content object from the user behavior information, the one or more measures of interest being determined based upon statistical analysis of the user behavior information and the tags; and
dynamically computing, by the one or more computing devices, a price for the content object based at least in part on one or more of the determined measures of interest.

Abstract
Dynamic pricing models which facilitate efficient distribution of digital content online. Particular implementations of the invention dynamically base pricing for digital content on relatively current, aggregated information regarding Internet user behavior and preferences, such as search query and/or page hit logs. Some implementations of the present invention are directed to pricing digital content based on the inherent properties of digital content and the mechanics of how electronic files are typically distributed on the Internet.

13. An apparatus comprising:
-
a memory; one or more processors; logic tangibly encoded in one or more non-transitory tangible media for execution by the one or more processors, and when executed operable to cause the one or more processors to; access logic executed by the one or more processors for accessing, over a network, a data store of user behavior information for data related to one or more attributes of a content object and tags relating to the content object, the user behavior information comprises information relating to search activities conducted by one or more users, the tags comprising information relating to a subject of the content object and rendering of the content object; determination logic executed by the one or more processors for determining one or more measures of interest for the content object from the user behavior information, the one or more measures of interest being determined based upon statistical analysis of the user behavior information and the tags; and computation logic executed by the one or more processors for dynamically computing a price for the content object based at least in part on the determined measures of interest. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24)
