ABSTRACT:
A method and system for identifying prospective sites in a remote network for which a user may have an affinity by detecting links to specific sites within sites previously accessed by a user, the remote network having multiple locations linked together based upon a commonality of subject matter. Initially, in response to user input, sites are accessed which contain links to other sites. Sites not previously accessed by the user are identified which have links contained within the accessed sites. Sites not previously accessed by the user are then prioritized according to the number of links contained within the accessed sites. Thereafter, the user is provided with an indication of the priority of sites not previously accessed by the user according to the number of links to each of the sites not previously accessed by the user contained within the accessed sites. In addition, the list of sites having links to the accessed sites can be arranged according to the number of links contained within the accessed sites. In response to arranging the list of sites having links to the accessed sites according to the number of links contained within the accessed sites, the links can be designated as interesting based on this arrangement.
