1. An apparatus, comprising:

  • a transaction handler configured on an electronic payment processing network that connects separate computers, including;

    the transaction handler;

    first computers controlling accounts from which transactions of payments are made in the electronic payment processing network;

    second computers controlling accounts in which the payments are received in the electronic payment processing network; and

    transaction terminals to generate the transactions using account identifiers identifying the accounts controlled by the first computers;

    a data warehouse coupled with the transaction handler to store transaction data recording the transactions processed by the transaction handler in the electronic payment processing network;

    a portal coupled with the data warehouse to access the transaction data and configured to communicate with a search engine using a communication channel outside the electronic payment processing network to correlate;

    searches performed in the search engine with,transactions resulting from the searches and tracked via offers included in information presented via search engine for the searches; and

    at least one processor coupled with the data warehouse and the portal and configured to compute a set of search statistics of the searches performed by the search engine and a set of transaction statistics of the transactions resulting from the searches;

    wherein the portal is further configured to receive a request from a user;

    wherein, in response to the request received in the portal, the at least one processor is configured to;

    identify, according to the request of the user, the search statistics of searches performed in the search engine related to one or more search terms of the searches;

    identify, based on the one or more search terms, the transaction statistics of the transactions resulting from the searches and recorded in the transaction data; and

    generate information based on the search statistics and the transaction statistics;

    wherein the information causes the portal to provide a user interface that, in response to the request, juxtaposes;

    the search statistics of the searches performed in the search engine related to the one or more search terms identified according to the request, withthe transaction statistics of the transactions resulting from the searches and recorded in the transaction data.
