Web is a wide, various and dynamic environment in which different users publish their documents. Webmining is one of data mining applications in which web patterns are explored. Studies on web mining can be categorized into three classes: application mining, content mining and structure mining. Today, internet has found an increasing significance. Search engines are considered as an important tool to respond users’ interactions. Among algorithms which is used to find pages desired by users is page rank algorithm which ranks pages based on users’ interests. However, as being the most widely used algorithm by search engines including Google, this algorithm has proved its eligibility compared to similar algorithm, but considering growth speed of Internet and increase in using this technology, improving performance of this algorithm is considered as one of the web mining necessities. Current study emphasizes on Ant Colony algorithm and marks most visited links based on higher amount of pheromone. Results of the proposed algorithm indicate high accuracy of this method compared to previous methods. Ant Colony Algorithm as one of the swarm intelligence algorithms inspired by social behavior of ants can be effective in modeling social behavior of web users. In addition, application mining and structure mining techniques can be used simultaneously to improve page ranking performance. |
