Web2.0: CrazyEgg.com

CrazyEgg.com is a website analytics tool which helps you determine how users navigate your website. They just launched this week and I'm impressed with the overall concept. Most website traffic analysis tools will tell you which pages are visited most often, but what makes CrazyEgg.com different is that it visually shows you where on the page the users are clicking. For example, the image below is a "heat overlay" image showing which areas on the site are clicked most often.



This is important information if you have several links on a page which go to the same place. For example, do your users click on that flashy graphic you made or do they prefer the text link? Which ad placement gives you the best results? These types of answers provide valuable information about your users and CrazyEgg.com provides the solution.

They offer a free plan up to 2 pages and 5000 visits per month. Getting started is a quick two step process of creating an account and inserting a line of code into the page you want to track. Paying plans start at just $19/per month, a minimal amount if your site has a reasonable amount of traffic.
