Claim One:
1. A method, comprising: identifying, by one or more processors, a first location associated with a first geographic location; identifying, by the one or more processors, a second location associated with a second geographic location; identifying visit data indicative of physical visits to one of the first and second locations that originated from the other of the first and second locations; determining a first time value indicative of time spent at the first location during one or more of the physical visits; determining a second time value indicative of time spent at the second location during one or more of the physical visits; determining, by the one or more processors, a connectedness measure between the first location and the second location based on the visit data, the connectedness measure indicative of correlation between the first location and the second location, wherein the connectedness measure is based on a quantity of physical visits to one of the first and second locations that originated from the other of the first and second locations as indicated by the visit data, as well as the first time value and the second time value; storing, by the one or more processors, in a machine-readable database, an indication of correlation between the first location and the second location when the connectedness measure satisfies a connectedness threshold; and ranking, by the one or more processors, the first or second location based at least in part on the connectedness measure.
