What Do Web Users Do? An Empirical Analysis of Web Use
byAndy Cockburn,Bruce McKenzie (2000)
Subject:Information Seeking Behavior
Language: English
Abstract:This paper provides an empirical characterisation of user actions atthe web browser. The study is based on an analysis of four months oflogged client-side data that describes user actions with recentversions of Netscape Navigator. In particular, the logged data allowsus to determine the title, URL and time of each page visit, how oftenthey visited each page, how long they spent at each page, the growthand content of bookmark collections, as well as a variety of otheraspects of user interaction with the web. The results update and extendprior empirical characterisations of web use. Among the results we showthat web page revisitation is a much more prevalent activity thanpreviously reported (approximately 81% of pages have been previouslyvisited by the user), that most pages are visited for a surprisinglyshort period of time, that users maintain large (and possiblyoverwhelming) bookmark collections, and that there is a marked lack ofcommonality in the pages visited by different users.
