Abstract

A system and method includes storing user information, advertiser information and electronic user interest information including one or more of questions and factual information regarding a plurality of topics. A request for information is received from a first user computing device, and at least one relevance factor is determined, based on at least a relationship of the electronic request for information with one or more of the user information, the advertiser information and the user interest information. A likelihood of receiving electronic information from the first user computing device is determined and at least some advertiser information is selected, based on at least the at least one relevance factor. First electronic user interest information is selected and a transmission including the first electronic user interest information and the at least some electronic advertiser information is generated and transmitted to the first user computing device.
