Abstract

Most people, companies and organizations put information on the Web because they want to be seen by the world. Their goal is to have visitors come to the site, feel comfortable and stay awhile. The aim of this work is to conduct an in-depth analysis of the data kept in the log files of the server that hosts the web pages of the Vilnius Technical University's Information Technology department. It is a constructive and convenient web site for study purposes, gathering useful information, finding free jobs in a labour exchange, electronic library and others. To better know the needs of web site visitors we have analysed its access log file using a modern Data Mining technique. This article treats data mining potential for web site analysis.
