A system and method is provided for qualifying search listings for placement in at least one search result list and ordering the search listings according to an algorithm. Specifically, a searching device is adapted to received items of information, such as search listings (e.g., www.yahoo.com, etc.), search terms (e.g., "cars," "beauty supplies," etc.) and monetary amounts (e.g., $1.00, etc.), from a plurality of promoting devices, receive a search inquiry (i.e., a search term) from a reception device, and provide (in response thereto) at least one search result list including search listings (i) associated with the search inquiry and (ii) qualified for placement in the search result list. In other words, if the search term linked to the search listing is the same as (or substantially similar to) the search inquiry, then the first prong is met. Furthermore, if a predetermined number of monetary amounts (i.e., as linked to a predetermined number of search listings associated with the search inquiry) are not higher than the monetary amount linked to the search listing, then the second prong is met and the search listing is qualified for placement. Thus, only a predetermined number of search listings (e.g., three, five, etc.) that are both (i) associated with the search inquiry and (ii) linked to the highest monetary amounts are qualified for placement in the search result list. Once the search listings are qualified for placement in the search result list, the searching device is adapted to arrange the qualified search listings according to an algorithm (e.g., randomly, according to relevance, according to monetary amounts, etc.). , • Explore collaborative articles and newsworthy topics with the LinkedIn community.
