Have you ever wondered what your readers are interested or what they are clicking in your blog. This is very important information for any blogger to know what his readers are interested and what type of ads they are clicking.
Crazyegg is a service which tracks what your site visitors are clicking, it is different from normal web stats systems like statcounter and Google Analytics. It tracks every click of your visitor and gives you a nice overlay of visitor activities on yoir site.

Its quite easy to setup crazyegg tracking, just register with crazyegg, create a page for testing and include the code in your blog footer. You can set up to 5 pages and 5000 visits with free account, you can always upgrade if you want to test more pages. You can also block some visitors clicks by IP address.

If you haven’t tried this already, now its time to test it and get to know about your readers.
I’ve been hearing this for a while. I’m gonna trial run this in my site soon.!
CrazyEgg is a good tool but I’m confused about which analytics tool to use. There are so many :S Currently, I’m settled with Google Analytics and StatCounter
Thanks for that reply, Ram 🙂
@ben
try this one, its really worth
@shankar
I also use Google Analytics and Statcounter for web analytics. These will tell you how many hits you site is getting and who is referring your site.
Crazyegg is different from these tools, it gives you clear idea what your visitors are doing in your site. You can use this tool for short time, say for one month and test where your ads are performing better, what parts of your web page are getting much attention. So that you can focus on those areas on which your readers are showing interest.
This tool is pretty amazing. I haven’t implemented it since I moved to my new webhost, but this may inspire me.
@listikal
its a nice tool gives pretty good statistics
For the clicks heatmap you can also test the latest version of the open source web analytics software phpmyvisites http://www.phpmyvisites.us/
It works very well for the heatmap (demo on http://www.phpmyvisites.us/phpmv2/index.php?lang=en-utf-8.php&mod=clickheat.view_clickheat&site=1&adminsite=1&date=2007-07-25&period=1&action= )
and with this free app you control and own your data 🙂
