Abstract

The invention includes customized software to be used on an end-user computer having fixed storage and an interface with a network server using a network. A GUI component controls a browser which accesses publisher content that is at least partially installed on the fixed storage. Software is provided for monitoring end-user behavior, on-line and off-line, and maintaining a local event statistics database of the end-user behavior including event data related to end-user events. Software is provided for detecting a network connection and transmitting at least a portion of the local event statistics database to the network server. Software is provided for compiling summary information from the local event statistics database wherein the summary information comprises the portion of the local event statistics database. E-mail grabbing software automatically examines each URL loaded in the browser and locates and saves E-mail addresses, URL, title pages, last modified date, and any keywords present in a tag of the E-mail URL to a searchable local E-mail database on the end-user's computer. An analysis program on the network server receives and analyzes local event data from the local event statistics databases and stores results from the analysis program into a statistics database on a statistics server accessible through the network server.
