The person is automatically redirected to one of the more than 20 of the SEEQ Network interest-and topic-based portals. For example, someone typing the URL NetSchool.com in their Web browser would be redirected to the SEEQ Network's EducationCentral.com portal. There they would find up-to-the-minute education news, view popular school-related links, check the weather and search the Web. The result is that advertisements reaching large and highly targeted audiences without jeopardizing peoples' privacy with IP address tracking or monitoring.
