The present invention provides for a method of updating an internet search
engine database with the results of a user's selection of specific web
page listings from the general web page listing provided to the user as a
result of his initial keyword search entry. By updating the database with
the selections of many different users, the database can be updated to
prioritize those web listings that have been selected the most with
respect to a given keyword, and thereby presenting first the most popular
web page listings in a subsequent search using the same keyword search
entry.
