Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method for predicting a target page associated with a search query, the method comprising the steps of: receiving, by a processor, a search query from a user over a network; defining, by a processor, a set of sessions, wherein the set of sessions is a predefined series of search queries received from a predefined group of users within a predefined period of time; for each of a first plurality of candidate webpages associated with the search query, determining, by a processor, a probability score that the candidate webpage is a target page associated with the search query over the set of sessions, wherein the target page is a webpage that when being selected by the user from a search listing of webpages associated with the search query, the user does not return to the search listing to view another webpage in the search listing; selecting, by a processor, a candidate webpage from the first plurality of webpages, of which the probability score is higher than a threshold value as a target page; determining, by a processor, that the user will not click on any other search listing or digital ad associated with the search query, and navigating, by a processor, a browser of a user to the determined target page.
