Abstract

An engine, system and method for a domain social network that interconnects Internet users with at least domains owned by or of interest to those Internet users, and that may obtain and/or forward obtained dynamic data regarding those domains automatically, such as by web service or email service. The dynamic data may be used to filter and protect content and data of the respective domains, to protect users by identifying low quality web pages or malicious software or pages, to isolate or improve search results regarding the domain, and/or to improve Internet-based transaction flow, such as the creation of advertising.

Claims

1. A system for enhanced searching of domains, comprising:

at least one backend engine, comprising computing code executed by at least one server for interconnecting Internet node points with at least first domains and second domains to create a domain social network;

wherein the backend engine further obtains dynamic data for each domain of the first and second domains;

wherein the dynamic data is configured to indicate filtering data for protecting data of the first and second domains by at least identifying low quality or malicious content of the first domains or second domains;

wherein the backend engine generates domain report data for each domain of the first and second domains using the received dynamic data, the domain report data including;

the frequency of the low quality or malicious content within the domain,

a domain valuation of the domain based on at least website traffic, number of followers, number of favorites markers, searchable page numbers, and domain age, and

attribute data of the domain;

wherein the domain report data associated with at least one of the domains is made accessible to at least one user of the domain social network via at least one of;

a bookmarklet, a browser add-on, a domain social network website, and a vendor feed via an application programming interface (API) in response to the at least one user performing a search via a search engine; and

wherein at least one other user joins the domain social network via a drag and drop, portable front end.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein the at least one user, via the bookmarklet, performs one of the following:

Like, Share, or Follow.

3. A computer-implemented method providing enhanced searching of domains, comprising:

interconnecting, via at least one backend engine, Internet node points with at least first domains and second domains to create a domain social network;

obtaining dynamic data for each domain of the first and second domains;

wherein the dynamic data indicates filtering data for protecting data of the first and second domains by identifying low quality or malicious content of the first domains or second domains;

generating domain report data for each domain of the first and second domains using the received dynamic data, the domain report data including;

the frequency of the low quality or malicious content within the domain,

a domain valuation of the domain based on at least website traffic, number of followers, number of favorites markers, searchable page numbers, and domain age, and

attribute data of the domain;

wherein the domain report data associated with at least one of the domains is made accessible to at least one user of the domain social network via at least one of;

a bookmarklet, a browser add-on, a domain social network website, and a vendor feed via an application programming interface (API) in response to the at least one user performing a search via a search engine; and

wherein at least one other user joins the domain social network via a drag and drop, portable front end.

4. The method of claim 3, wherein the at least one or other user, via the bookmarklet, performs one of the following:

Like, Share, or Follow.
