Prominence data resulting from user interaction with a hyperlink on a page
may be stored in one or more repositories. Prominence data may be
collected automatically when the user views a page or clicks on a
hyperlink without requiring separate action from the user to accomplish
storage or retrieval. The prominence data may further include a display
parameter that denotes a level of prominence that is usable to affect the
display of a hyperlink. A prominence score used to determine the display
parameter may be calculated by dividing a count of click-throughs by a
count of page views of the page containing the hyperlink. Other score
calculations may be used. User feedback may be incorporated into the
score calculation and may be collected through a toolbar, popup window,
or other feedback-collecting mechanism.
