COMPUTER-ACCESSIBLE MEDIUM, METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR ASSISTING IN NAVIGATING THE INTERNET

摘要

A computer-accessible medium, method and system is provided for availing hierarchal menus which can enhance and simplify the navigation of web sites. Such menus may permit improved access to web pages within a web site via a standardized interface that can be displayed as hierarchal menus. Such menus may be provided by receiving a request to browse a web site, obtaining the link structure and/or content of the web site, and generating menu data reflecting the link structure and/or other properties of the web site. The data may optionally be filtered or truncated to limit the size of the navigational menus. Exemplary menus may further be provided with menu items containing advertising links and/or labels within one or more levels. The generation and placement of these exemplary advertisement menu items can be context-sensitive and based, for example, on other menu labels or links.
