| Pentagon (the defense ministry of the state) | | | | |
| in 1960. | | | | One of the other properties of web portals is |
| | | | the way of its services managing by the user. |
| By designing the network, the main goal was | | | | There is a single and unit way for user to |
| to connect each computer to two other | | | | access all the services such as blog service, |
| stations, so the sent packet messages could | | | | radioblog, mail and chat, online shopping etc |

| times, this network changed gradually and | | | | |
| shaped a new means that was the modern | | | | It will prevent the user to create and save |

| At that time, there was nobody to believe | | | | bothering among various cookies, cache files |
| that the whole network will be grew too | | | | and security items. |
| quickly to be moderated that difficult and | | | | |
| there is a necessary need to specialist and | | | | But lets state that all the web portals that |
| expert managers. The most important reason | | | | offer their services for paid types would |
| was the free space on the web! | | | | fail strongly. |
| | | | |
| But today, the "World Wide Web" theory is | | | | Also, the indirect access to Internet |
| making all the users feel free to access the | | | | services is one of the great concerns of each |
| Internet without the requirement of technical | | | | 21st century user. One of the main duties of |
| information. In the other word, a complicated | | | | each web portal is to provide the user with |
| mission with an easy usability that makes the | | | | wide-area and remote services such as |
| user mixed up between "Web" and "Internet" as | | | | SMS-2-Email and other mobility engines. |
| two separated means. | | | | |
| | | | If all the preliminaries are provided, so we |
| The essential goal of "WWW" theory was the | | | | can say that our web portal is reached to the |
| easy and simple access to online content and | | | | productivity level and we can take advantages |
| services by using a specified application | | | | of it. But the lack of financial programming |
| with special capabilities. So the production | | | | and economic reasoning in a scientific way |
| of these applications was a great step toward | | | | would threaten the whole life of the project. |
| online utopia and classification of services | | | | |
| and context on the net. | | | | With regard to the definitions above, it |
| | | | occurs a common and general question. How a |
| The enhancement of Internet and web-based | | | | web portal reaches to productivity? If all |
| services is occurring too quickly that it is | | | | the services such as emailing, web-based |
| impossible for everyone to remember even the | | | | search, news groups, radio and instant |
| one tenth of current active website names | | | | messaging are free so how it could be |
| because he have to remember daily more than | | | | beneficial and financially useful to us as |
| 20,000 new domain names. | | | | the owners of project? |
| | | | |
| The ease of use and friendly application | | | | But the answer is so simple. Web portals are |
| environment are the best reasons for each | | | | in a straight relation with e-commerce |
| user to take part in using the network | | | | techniques. So the return of net income and |
| services. So it is not logical to expect a | | | | productivity is gained through electronic |
| user to try surfing hundreds of websites to | | | | commerce. |
| access various and different services or | | | | |
| register for divers providers and be | | | | But the make the issue clearer, lets define |
| concerned about saving the privacy | | | | E-commerce once forever. E-commerce is the |
| information of each registration. | | | | interchange of products and services with |
| | | | money by using the abilities of network! |
| So the web, reached to an unwanted new level | | | | |
| that is called to be "Web Portal" era. | | | | It means that E-commerce equals the |
| | | | notification, advertisement, communication |
| So I think that if we desire to result a new | | | | and exchange through the electronic and |
| declaration of "web portal", we have to | | | | online data processing. The good examples for |
| translate it, word by word. | | | | common e-commerce today are the online stores |
| | | | and e-shops. |
| We are almost acquainted with the specified | | | | |
| definitions of web and we know that web is a | | | | It is a gross diplomacy for portal owners to |
| simple way to access virtual and cyber | | | | upgrade their visitors and users amount by |
| content or services. | | | | offering popular and favorite services and |
| | | | meet the financial needs and inquiries by |
| But the question is the portal. When we talk | | | | gathering good advertisement from predominant |
| about portal, we mean to a cyber gateway or | | | | companies and well-known brands. |
| doorway. In the other word, portals are | | | | |
| trying to get advantages from numerous | | | | Many think that portals are subcategorized |
| related websites and take them together in a | | | | into two columns: General portals and |
| unit place. A unit place that is implemented | | | | specialized portals. And it results the |
| to provide the daily needed content and | | | | portals to be grouped into horizontal portals |
| services and prevent the diffusion of | | | | level and vertical portals level. But I think |
| content. | | | | that it is not a correct arrangement and |
| | | | would make mistakes in specifying. Many other |
| So from this definition we can understand | | | | think that portals are divided into the |
| that web portal is not a special product, but | | | | groups of applied portals and informative |
| has a standard personality and nature that is | | | | portals. But it seems to be incorrect too, |
| being made by two structural concepts: | | | | because the nature of portal demands on the |
| Services and contents. | | | | brining information and services mixed |
| | | | together. |
| The definition above would make the common | | | | |
| and inexpert user to get mixed up that every | | | | In the other hand, some others think that |
| "links page" or each multi-usage website | | | | portals are divided into these categories: |
| could be named as a portal that facilitates | | | | |
| the access to other websites, but with regard | | | | · Business to customer portals (B2C) |
| to the main definition, we can claim that it | | | | |
| is not correct at all to call the hyperlinks | | | | · Business to business portals (B2B) |
| collection and site directories as web | | | | |
| portals because the web portals have a known | | | | · Business to employer portals (B2E) |
| personality with the possibility of servicing | | | | |
| and providing the desired content to their | | | | · Public portals |
| users. | | | | |
| | | | B2C ones are the most common portals with the |
| The base goal of web portals is to categorize | | | | feature of products and services exchange |
| the information and making the access to | | | | among users and companies. But the B2B portal |

| information to be lost. This could be | | | | |
| possible through accessing to portals by | | | | In fact with such categorization, we defined |
| creating a digital identification and | | | | a property and ability for few times and |
| gathering a personal profile. | | | | expanded the circle without any reason. We |
| | | | forgot that it is possible to have a more |
| Most of web portals are common and joint in | | | | abstract and useful categorization. |
| some items containing: | | | | |
| | | | Imagine that you are on of photo.net users. |
| 1- The variety of services | | | | One of the most incompatible picture |
| | | | resources with the educative courses and |

| These simple but vital items are the basic | | | | frequently and affect the progress and |
| structures of web portals growth and | | | | enhancement of it. By being the user |

| The variety of portal services is much | | | | |
| different in compare with a website that is | | | | The structure of portal is also considered in |
| working in a special and professional field. | | | | one of these items: |
| Due to the limitations of common websites to | | | | |
| engage in various and different fields and | | | | · Type of programming |
| issues, we can observe that the indoor | | | | |
| workgroups of such websites are very smaller | | | | · Type of project management |
| than web portals those have to share their | | | | |
| attention in many directions and issues. | | | | · Type of financial accounting of the site |
