Abstract

For many companies and/or institutions it is no longersufficient to have a web site and high quality products orservices. What in many cases makes the difference betweensuccess and failure of e-business is the potential of the respectiveweb site to attract and retain visitors. This potentialis determined by a site's content, its design, and technicalaspects, such as e.g. time to load the pages among others.In this paper, we concentrate on the content representedby free text of each of the web pages. We propose a methodto determine the set of the most important words in a website from the visitor's point of view. This is done combiningusage information with web page content arriving at a setof keywords determined implicitly by the site's visitors.Applying self-organizing neural networks to the respectiveusage and content data we can identify clusters of typicalvisitors and the most important pages and words foreach cluster. We applied our method to a bank's web site inorder to show its benefits.Institutions that perform consequently and regularly theproposed analysis can design their web sites according totheir visitors' needs and requirements and this way stayahead of their competitors.
