Abstract

A system and method for filtering web accesses in an web access log analysis are described. A web log file having a plurality of entries, with each entry containing a field identifying a web access of a visitor, and a list of exclusion web accesses to be filtered from the web log file are provided. An optimum algorithm for searching in the list of exclusion web accesses is selected from a set of algorithms. Based on the selection, a data structure corresponding to the selected algorithm and the exclusion web accesses is built. Comparisons are made between the web access in each entry of the web log file and the data structure to filter or discount entries from the web log file.
