Abstract: Internet web pages contain several items that cannot be classified as the ―informative content, ‖ e.g., search and filtering panel, navigation links, advertisements, and so on. Most clients and end-users search for the informative content, and largely do not seek the non-informative content. As a result, the need of Informative Content Extraction from web pages becomes evident. Two steps, Web Page Segmentation and Inf ormative Content Extraction, are needed to be carried out for Web Informative Content Extraction. DOM-based Segmentation Approaches cannot often provide satisfactory results. Vision-based Segmentation Approaches also have some drawbacks. So this paper proposes Effective Visual Block Extractor (EVBE) Algorithm to overcome the problems of DOM-based Approaches and reduce the drawbacks of previous works in Web Page Segmentation. And it also proposes Effective Informative Content Extractor (EIFCE) Algorithm to reduce the drawbacks of previous works in Web Informative Content Extraction.
