Web mining is an emerging research area due to the rapid growth of websites. Web mining is classified into Web Content Mining (WCM), Web Usage Mining and Web Structure Mining. Extraction of required information from web page content available on World Wide Web (WWW) is WCM. The WCM is further classified into two categories first category is to directly mine the content on documents and second category is to mine the content using search engine. The mining method focuses on the information extraction and integration. The content of Web may be text, image, audio, video. Web pages typically contain a large amount of information that is not part of the main contents of the pages, like banner advertisements, navigation bars, copyright notices, etc. Such noises on Web pages usually lead to poor results in Web mining. This paper focuses on the problem of Noise free Information retrieval on web pages, which means the pre-processing of Web pages automatically to detect and eliminate noises. This paper proposes an approach for eliminating noises from web pages for the purpose of improving the accuracy and efficiency of web content mining. The main objective of removing noise from a Web Page is to improve the performance of the search. It is very essential to differentiate important information from noisy content that may misguide users' interest. This approach mainly concentrates on removing the following noises in stages: (1) Primary noises-Navigation bars, Panels and Frames, Page Headers and Footers, Copyright and Privacy Notices, Advertisements and other Uninteresting Data such as audio, video, multiple links. (2) Duplicate Contents and (3) Noise Contents according to block importance. The removal of these noises is done by performing three operations. Firstly, using the Block Splitting operation, primary noises are removed and only the useful text contents are partitioned into blocks. Secondly, using simhash algorithm, the duplicate blocks are removed to obtain the distinct blocks. For each block, three parameters namely Keyword Redundancy (KR), Linkword Percentage (LP) and Titleword Relevancy (TR) calculated. Using these three parameters block importance value (BI) is calculated, which is called Simhash algorithm. The importance of the block is then calculated using simhash algorithm. Based on a threshold value the important blocks are selected using sketching algorithm and the keywords are extracted from those important blocks.

In the present day scenario the World Wide Web (WWW) is an important and popular information search tool. It provides convenient access to almost all kinds of information – from education to entertainment. The main objective of the chapter is to retrieve information from websites and then use the information for website quality analysis. In this chapter information of the website is retrieved through web mining process. Web mining is the process is the integration of three knowledge domains: Web Content Mining, Web Structure Mining and Web Usage Mining. Web content mining is the process of extracting knowledge from the content of web documents. Web structure mining is the process of inferring knowledge from the World Wide Web organization and links between references and referents in the Web. The web content elements are used to derive functionality and usability of the website. The Web Component elements are used to find the performance of the website. The website structural elements are used to find the complexity and usability of the website. The quality assurance techniques for web applications generally focus on the prevention of web failure or the reduction of chances for such failures. The web failures are defined as the inability to obtain or deliver information such as documents or computational results requested by web users. A high quality website is one that provides relevant, useful content and a good user experience. Thus in this chapter, all areas of website are thoroughly studied for analysing the quality of website design.

World Wide Web is an extremely large collection of information, i.e. beyond our imagination. It provides enough information according to user's need. Web is rising dreadfully as approximately 70 million pages are added daily. Knowledge Discovery on web data is referred as Web Mining. Web Structure Mining based on the analysis of patterns from hyperlink structure in the web. Like as Data Mining, Web Mining has four stages i.e. Data Collection, Preprocessing, Knowledge Discovery and Knowledge Analysis. This paper based on the first two stages Data collection and Preprocessing. Data collection is to collect the data required for analysis. Data preprocessing is considered as an important stage of Web Structure mining because of data available on web is unstructured, heterogeneous and noisy.

This paper gives an introduction to Web mining, then describes Web Structure mining in detail, and explores the data structure used by the Web. This paper also explores different Page Rank algorithms and compare those algorithms used for Information Retrieval. In Web Mining, the basics of Web mining and the Web mining categories are explained. Different Page Rank based algorithms like PageRank (PR), WPR (Weighted PageRank), HITS (Hyperlink-Induced Topic Search), DistanceRank and DirichletRank algorithms are discussed and compared. PageRanks are calculated for PageRank and Weighted PageRank algorithms for a given hyperlink structure. Simulation Program is developed for PageRank algorithm because PageRank is the only ranking algorithm implemented in the search engine (Google). The outputs are shown in a table and chart format.

Data and web mining involves the use of data mining techniques to extract information from the web in order to gain insights into online behavior, customer preferences, and trends. The process requires data preprocessing to clean and prepare the data for analysis, and pattern recognition to identify relationships and patterns within the data. The benefits of data and web mining include improved decision-making and business growth, while challenges include the large volume of data and ensuring data quality. Web mining can be divided into three main categories: web content mining, web structure mining, and web usage mining. Web content mining involves extracting information from the content of web pages, such as text, images, and videos. Web structure mining involves analyzing the links between web pages to identify patterns and relationships. Web usage mining involves analyzing user behavior on the web, such as clickstream data and session logs, to extract useful information. KEYWORDS: data mining, web mining, information extraction, data preprocessing, pattern recognition, online behavior, customer preferences,

The purpose of this paper is to provide a more current evaluation and update of web mining research and techniques available. Current advances in each of the three different types of web mining are reviewed in the categories of web content mining, web usage mining, and web structure mining. For each tabulated research work, we examine such key issues as web mining process, methods/techniques, applications, data sources, and software used. Unlike previous investigators, we divide web mining processes into the following five subtasks: (1) resource finding and retrieving, (2) information selection and preprocessing, (3) patterns analysis and recognition, (4) validation and interpretation, and (5) visualization. This paper also reports the comparisons and summaries of selected software for web mining. The web mining software selected for discussion and comparison in this paper are SPSS Clementine, Megaputer PolyAnalyst, ClickTracks by web analytics, and QL2 by QL2 Software Inc. Applications of these selected web mining software to available data sets are discussed together with abundant presentations of screen shots, as well as conclusions and future directions of the research.

Information seekers rely heavily on search engines to extract relevant information because of the Internet's exponential development in users and traffic. The availability of a vast amount of textual, audio, video, and other content has expanded search engines' duty. Users of the Internet can obtain pertinent information about their query from the search engine by using factors like content and link structure. It does not, however, imply that the information is accurate. The link structure of web sites is analyzed using Web Structure Mining (WSM), and their content is analyzed using Web Content Mining (WCM), which determines how well the ranking module performs.A multitude of content-based recommender systems are currently in use, and they are well-researched in both text acquisition and filtering. These systems recommend documents based on text analysis. The management information system can benefit from Web Content Ming technology. Web content mining is the process of extracting or mining knowledge or useful information from web pages. The purpose of this work is to investigate web content extraction technology enhanced Reinforcement algorithm which anticipates user interest by analyzing the page according to user view related topic.This ERIM procedure involves locating web sites linked to user queries and using hyperlinks to locate a collection of related web pages and find the topic categorization using machine learning method.

Internet is the biggest source of information which is easily accessible but unstructured. Web mining - is the application of data mining techniques to discover patterns from the Web. According to analysis targets, web mining can be divided into three different types, which are Web usage mining, Web content mining and Web structure mining. [3] Web usage mining reveals about user's navigation pattern at any website through analyzing web logs. In this study we have tried to analyze the users online job seeking tendency pattern through two available web-based tools viz. Google Trends and Google Zeitgeist.

this paper provides an in-depth survey of challenges in the design of intelligent information retrieval systems, pointing out some similarities and differences in the core data mining and web based search operations. The procedures for evaluation of search engine performance and implicit feedback of the user with respect to a search result are studied with references to the different algorithms. We have proposed a novel neural satisfaction based feedback vector in contrast to the existing activity pattern based feedback as a future research direction in Intelligent IR. We addressed the select research work in the area of soft information retrieval using fuzzy sets, artificial neural networks, genetic algorithms and probabilistic information retrieval. As an instance of information retrieval, web mining is a set of operations to retrieve relevant documents from preprocessed, crawled and indexed web, and it can be categorized into more specialized tasks of web content mining, web structure mining and web usage mining. We have given a survey of the important reviews on topic of web mining and its associated tasks. On the basis of Identified challenges in information retrieval in general, and web mining in particular, we have concentrated on applicability of soft computing techniques and their hybrids in web mining, the performance related issues of select solutions, future of web mining and the next generation user's expectations from a search engine.

Over the last decade, we have witnessed an explosive growth in the information available on the Web. Today, Web browsers provide easy access to myriad sources of text and multimedia data. Search engines index more than a billion pages and finding the desired information is not an easy task. This profusion of resources has prompted the need for developing automatic mining techniques on Web, thereby giving rise to the term “Web mining” (Pal, Talwar, & Mitra, 2002). Web mining is the application of data mining techniques on the Web for discovering useful patterns and can be divided into three basic categories: Web content mining, Web structure mining, and Web usage mining. Web content mining includes techniques for assisting users in locating Web documents (i.e., pages) that meet certain criteria, while Web structure mining relates to discovering information based on the Web site structure data (the data depicting the Web site map). Web usage mining focuses on analyzing Web access logs and other sources of information regarding user interactions within the Web site in order to capture, understand and model their behavioral patterns and profiles and thereby improve their experience with the Web site. As citizens requirements and needs change continuously, traditional information searching, and fulfillment of various tasks result to the loss of valuable time spent in identifying the responsible actor (public authority) and waiting in queues. At the same time, the percentage of users who acquaint with the Internet has been remarkably increased (Internet World Stats, 2005). These two facts motivate many governmental organizations to proceed with the provision of e-services via their Web sites. The ease and speed with which business transactions can be carried out over the Web has been a key driving force in the rapid growth and popularity of e-government, e-commerce, and e-business applications. In this framework, the Web is emerging as the appropriate environment for business transactions and user-organization interactions. However, since it is a large collection of semi-structured and structured information sources, Web users often suffer from information overload. Personalization is considered as a popular solution in order to alleviate this problem and to customize the Web environment to users (Eirinaki & Vazirgiannis, 2003). Web personalization can be described, as any action that makes the Web experience of a user personalized to his or her needs and wishes. Principal elements of Web personalization include modeling of Web objects (pages) and subjects (users), categorization of objects and subjects, matching between and across objects and/or subjects, and determination of the set of actions to be recommended for personalization. In the remainder of this article, we present the way an e-government application can deploy Web mining techniques in order to support intelligent and personalized interactions with citizens. Specifically, we describe the tasks that typically comprise this process, illustrate the future trends, and discuss the open issues in the field.

Web usage mining is the branch of web mining that deals with mining of data over the web. Web mining can be categorized as web content mining, web structure mining, web usage mining. In this paper, we have summarized the web usage mining results executed over the user tool WMOT (web mining optimized tool) based on the WEKA tool that has been used to apply various classification algorithms such as Naïve Bayes, KNN, SVM and tree based algorithms. Authors summarized the results of classification algorithms on WMOT tool and compared the results on the basis of classified instances and identify the algorithms that gives better instances accuracy.

Web Mining is the process of retrieving non-trivial and potentially useful information or patterns from web.Web mining is universal set of Web Structure Mining, Web Usage Mining and Web content Mining.This paper describes and compares these three categories.It also provides comparative statements of various page ranking algorithms with link editing, General Utility Mining and Topological frequency Utility Mining Model by taking constraints such as Web Mining activity, topology, Process, Weighting factor, Time complexity, and Limitations etc..This also helps in comparing WPs-Tree and WPs-Itree structures.

Page rank is a ranking algorithm based on a random surfer model which is used in Google search engine and many other domains. Because of its initial success in Google search engine, page rank has become the de-facto choice when it comes to ranking nodes in a network structure. Despite the ubiquitous utility of the algorithm, little is known about the effect of topology on the performance of the page rank algorithm. Hence this paper discusses the performance of page rank algorithm under different topological conditions. We use scale-free networks and random networks along with a custom search engine we implemented in order to experimentally prove that the performance of page rank algorithm is deteriorated when the random network is perturbed. In contrast, scale-free topology is proven to be resilient against degree preserving perturbations which aids the page rank algorithm to deliver consistent results across multiple networks that are perturbed to varying proportions. Not only does the top ranking results emerge as stable nodes, but the overall performance of the algorithm is proven to be remarkably resilient which deepens our understanding about the risks in applying page rank algorithm without an initial analysis on the underlying network structure. The results conclusively suggests that while page rank algorithm can be applied to scale-free networks with relatively low risk, applying page rank algorithm to other topologies can be risky as well as misleading. Therefore, the success of the page rank algorithm in real world in search engines such as Google is at least partly due to the fact that the world wide web is a scale-free network. Since the world wide web is constantly evolving, we postulate that if the topological structure of the world wide web changes significantly so that it loses its scale-free nature to some extent, the page rank algorithm will not be as effective.
