SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR AUTOMATED DELIVERY OF INFORMATION TO USER DEVICES

摘要

A redirecting server generates interstitial web pages that redirect requests from user devices for alias URLs to corresponding destination URLs. The interstitial web pages tag user devices. In some embodiments the interstitial web pages include commands that provide cookies to the user devices. In some embodiments the interstitial web pages acquire ID characteristics from user devices. The cookies may persist on the user devices for some time and may cause information, for example in the form of banner advertisements to be displayed on the user devices. The information may be related to information contained in a resource identified by the destination URL. Some embodiments compile databases of concepts, keywords and/or key phrases represented in resources identified by the destination URLs. In such embodiments the concepts, keywords and/or key phrases may be associated with the alias URLs. The cookies may be selected from among a set of cookies based in part on the associated concepts, keywords and/or key phrases.
