The invention provides a useful method and apparatus for processing and displaying product information over a computer network such as the Internet. Using computer executable software, the invention is able to receive graphics files and corresponding database information related to a product and store the information in a format that can be easily searched. Different layers of information pertaining to the product may be stored and cross referenced so that products can be researched by price, quality, location and other factors that may be important to the consumer. All information traditionally conveyed by FSIs can be emulated. Furthermore, the invention provides the added benefit of cross referencing the information pertaining to the product including advertiser information (store location or WWW address), date range of the advertisement (e.g. expiration date), product description, price, name brands, and other useful information.
