This survey paper Enhancing web navigation usability using web usage mining techniques discusses in detail about developing solution model to identify Web navigation related usability problems and analyze comparison between actual and anticipated usage behavior which will be helpful to users to provide better effectiveness (higher task completion rate) and efficiency (less time) for given tasks. The web navigation structure is changed automatically which reduces the time expended by the web developers.
