If it is unique and not currently being done by any others (prior art) and if it's creation does not require the violation of existing patents.
If it is not obvious.
If you have the money to file and research the patent and create a prototype of the site to demonstrate it's feasibility to the patent office. Then if it's a good idea you need the moeny for lawyers to sue and protect your patent if others try to steal your idea.
For instance Amazon sued Barnes and Noble for using the Express Lane concept on their web site which Amazon had patented.

I don't know.
I would say off hand No. You want to restrict someone from copy catting your idea?
I don't think you can do that.
