Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Companies have been augmenting omnichannel strategies in order to interact with customers in efficient ways. This is due to hypercompetition and the tendency to develop better customer relationships. The internet technology has changed companies’ strategic plan in formulating new channels and improving their channel strategy. As a channel strategy, using mobile applications has gained popularity over recent years and it has become an indispensable part of many users’ experience. The advent of app development environments such as Apple app store and Google play store has created new channels for firms which bypass traditional physical stores and even online stores. New technologies, namely Web 2.0 and Web 3.0, are changing marketing functions in several ways and new concepts such as marketing 2.0 and marketing 3.0 are being introduced while creating challenges in consumers’ decision-making process. However, it is critical for companies to incorporate app-based marketing in their digital marketing strategy in order to deliver a seamless and consistent customer experience. Therefore, the aim of this Special Issue is to fill the gap in linking app-based marketing to overall digital marketing strategy.

This paper presents a novel approach of using machine learning algorithms based on experts’ knowledge to classify web pages into three predefined classes according to the degree of content adjustment to the search engine optimization (SEO) recommendations. In this study, classifiers were built and trained to classify an unknown sample (web page) into one of the three predefined classes and to identify important factors that affect the degree of page adjustment. The data in the training set are manually labeled by domain experts. The experimental results show that machine learning can be used for predicting the degree of adjustment of web pages to the SEO recommendations—classifier accuracy ranges from 54.59% to 69.67%, which is higher than the baseline accuracy of classification of samples in the majority class (48.83%). Practical significance of the proposed approach is in providing the core for building software agents and expert systems to automatically detect web pages, or parts of web pages, that need improvement to comply with the SEO guidelines and, therefore, potentially gain higher rankings by search engines. Also, the results of this study contribute to the field of detecting optimal values of ranking factors that search engines use to rank web pages. Experiments in this paper suggest that important factors to be taken into consideration when preparing a web page are page title, meta description, H1 tag (heading), and body text—which is aligned with the findings of previous research. Another result of this research is a new data set of manually labeled web pages that can be used in further research. Full article
