Abstract

A method for providing Internet domain name suggestions includes parsing a web page; obtaining at least one keyword from the parsing, generating a first query from the at least one keyword; and determining, based at least on the first query, if at least one name suggestion is available. The method also includes, if at least one name suggestion is available, generating at least one domain name suggestion based at least on the first query and displaying the at least one domain name suggestion.

Claims

1. A method, performed by a processor, for providing Internet domain name suggestions, comprising:

opening a web page on a browser in response to a user selection of a link, wherein the web pace includes visible content;

automatically parsing the web page;

obtaining at least one keyword from the parsing;

generating a first query from the at least one keyword;

generating a plurality of domain name suggestions based at least on the first query;

determining a plurality of domain traffic scores for the plurality of domain name suggestions;

providing ranked domain name suggestions that includes one or more of the plurality of domain name suggestions ranked based on the plurality of domain traffic scores associated with the plurality of domain name suggestions;

displaying one or more of the ranked domain name suggestions;

receiving a user-highlighted portion of the visible content of the web page displayed during the parsing;

refining the first query with one or more keywords derived from the user-highlighted portion of the visible content to generate a second query, wherein the user-highlighted portion of the visible content comprises at least one of a title of the web page, text in the web page, an image in the web page, or an advertisement in the web page;

generating one or more domain name suggestions based on the second query; and

providing the one or more domain name suggestions.

2. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

ranking contents returned in response to the first query based on occurrence of a keyword to generate ranked contents; and

5. The method of claim 1, further comprising generating the at least one domain name suggestion automatically.

6. The method of claim 1, further comprising generating the at least one domain name suggestion in real-time.

7. The method of claim 1, further comprising generating the at least one domain name suggestion manually.

8. The method of claim 1, further comprising using at least one of a geographical location, contents of a search history, an IP address, or other relevant information to generate the at least one domain name suggestion.

9. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

if at least one name suggestion is not available;

providing a notification that no domain name suggestion is available.

10. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

providing a domain name suggestion application separate from the web page, wherein the domain name suggestion application performs the parsing, the obtaining, the generating the first query, the determining, the refining, and the generating the one or more domain name suggestions, and wherein the providing further comprises providing the one or more domain name suggestions in the web page.

11. A system for providing Internet domain name suggestions comprising:

a processor; and

a memory containing instructions, that when executed by the processor, causes the processor to perform a method comprising;

opening a web page on a browser in response to a user selection of a link, wherein the web page includes visible content;

automatically parsing the web page;

obtaining at least one keyword from the parsing;

generating a first query from the at least one keyword;

generating a plurality of domain name suggestions based at least on the first query;

determining a plurality of domain traffic scores for the plurality of domain name suggestions;

providing ranked domain name suggestions that includes one or more of the plurality of domain name suggestions ranked based on the plurality of domain traffic scores associated with the plurality of domain name suggestions;

displaying the ranked domain name suggestions;

receiving a user-highlighted portion of the visible content of the web page displayed during the parsing;

refining the first query with one or more keywords derived from the user-highlighted portion of the visible content to generate a second query, wherein the user-highlighted portion of the visible content comprises at least one of a title of the web page, text in the web page, an image in the web page, or an advertisement in the web page;

generating one or more domain name suggestions based on the second query; and

providing the one or more domain name suggestions.

12. The system of claim 11, the method further comprising:

ranking contents returned in response to the first query based on occurrence of a keyword to generate ranked contents; and
