Embodiments of the instant invention are directed to a method, apparatus
and system for directing an on-line user to predetermined information.
Preferred embodiments of the instant invention interface with the user's
browser to utilize the functions of the browser for directing user
"traffic" on a network. In preferred embodiments, when a user accesses a
web site page, a traffic control program is executed for the page,
wherein the traffic control program controls the transmission
(downloading) of data to the user computer and further creates a modified
set of rules for at least one of the browser functions. Upon query (or
other interaction) by the browser prior to closing page, the traffic
control program interacts with the browser software to modify or control
one or more of the browser functions, such that the user computer is
further directed to a predesignated site or page (and displays a
predesignated flame) upon execution of a browser function, instead of
accessing the site or page typically associated with the selected browser
function.
