Abstract :
We investigate the behavior of users at the Web portal. We focus on transitions between two subpages, using the information about the path of the users. We construct a weighted network with portal subpages being its nodes and the weights of edges defined as a number of transition from between different subpages. We scrutinize the properties of such a network as a distribution of weights and strengths that corresponds to the power-law relation, as well as the statistics of users behavior. The latter brings interesting results: the average number of distinct subpages visited during the n-th step of a visit scales as a square root relation.
