The invention includes a method of tracking distributed content within a
computer network. The method includes the step of identifying the
delivery of a set of Network Information Monitors (NIMs). Information
about each NTM within the set of NIMs is tracked. The information
includes a first time at which a user opens a selected NIM, a second time
at which the user closes the selected NW, and an identifier for the
selected NIM. The information is used to determine sub-sets of NIMs that
are displayed simultaneously. The invention also includes a method of
identifying the delivery of a Network Information Monitor (NIM) to a
user. Content information for the NIM is recorded. NIM use activity is
tracked the user for a set of NIMs. The content information is correlated
with the NIM use activity.
