Nowadays, web-based services like E-Commerce and E-Banking make fundamental changes to the ways of using internet and human's life. Web shares direct media with low costs between services of businesses and their customers. Businesses need to record, study and analyze their users' behavior and interests in order to adapt content and interface of their web site with users' interest for targeted marketing and advertising and then complete the process of personalization. For this purpose and for analysis of users’ behavior and making recommendations based on the users’ behavior, web mining approaches can be used. In this paper, a model was developed which can be applied for analyzing and predicting users' behaviors of a specific web site. First, users were clustered with affinity propagation algorithm and then, their behaviors were analyzed using sequential pattern mining algorithm called CM-SPADE. In the next step, for each cluster, Users' profile was created. Then by using these profiles, recommendations can be made for new users. At last, the represented model was evaluated and the final results was acceptable.

In recent decades, organizations have increasingly focused on developing ICTs and introducing new e-services to their customers, so they have largely invested in web development and promotional activities.Therefore, it is essential for them to evaluate their websites and identify how well they are structured.and how web pages are organized. Evaluating web structure requires proper methods and measures.This paper intends to model a website as a graph and introduce new measures to evaluate website link structure.The model is based on the analysis of online behavior of the website's visitors. Thus, a real problem of the website of an Iranian university was described and, its structure was evaluated using this model between September-05 to November 2005.
