Claim 7:
8. A computer-implemented method comprising:
generating a link graph for a website, the website comprising a plurality of webpages, the link graph generated based at least in part on data comprising one or more hyperlinks associated with the plurality of webpages, and historical data associated with the plurality of webpages;
wherein the link graph comprises a plurality of nodes and a plurality of links,
wherein a node of the plurality of nodes represents a webpage of the plurality of webpages and a link of the plurality of links represents a hyperlink of the one or more hyperlinks, and wherein each link is associated with a weight value;
generating a threshold for each weight value based at least in part on one or more of a desired computational expense or a desired accuracy;
eliminating those links of the plurality of links from the link graph that are associated with a weight value below the threshold; and
generating a programmatically expected path for a particular user through the link graph based at least in part on one or more weight values associated with a first node.
