Claim One:
1. A method for identifying properties of a plurality of web page traversal paths, comprising: acquiring data from a plurality of sessions corresponding to said plurality of web page traversal paths; grouping, by a computer, said web page traversal paths into web page categories, wherein grouping said web page traversal paths into said web page categories includes correlating traffic amount relationships between specific ones of a plurality of web pages in said web page traversal paths to identify said web page categories, wherein correlating the traffic amount relationships between the specific web pages comprises correlating the specific web pages based on an amount of traffic between the specific web pages; using, by the computer, the web page categories to map the plurality of sessions to new sessions; clustering, by the computer, said new sessions according to a similarity measure into a plurality of web session clusters, wherein clustering said new sessions comprises defining the similarity measure between sessions, and partitioning said new sessions into said plurality of web session clusters according to said similarity measure; and selecting, by the computer, one of said plurality of web session clusters most closely exhibiting at least one predefined metric from said plurality of web session clusters for analysis of properties of a web page traversal path contained therein.
