Crazyegg tracking and heatmap

[Brian Turner]

Here's a nice site that's going viral at the moment - and with good cause:

http://www.crazyegg.com/

Basically, it gives stats on which parts of the site are getting the most clicks, shows you this on your page, shows you a list of them, and also provides a heatmap based on these clicks.

If the crazyegg site doesn't explain it, Matt Mullenweg posts a few shots of Wordpress page heatmaps to show it simply:

37 Signals does a nice longer write-up:

I'm currently testing this out on a couple of sites, using the free option.

Will be interesting to see how useful I find it.

I think crazy egg is great. I am testing a few sites myself.
I have a question Brian. Do you think crazy egg is better than
google analytics?

Only just started using Google Analytics.

So far it looks like GA is the far more comprehensive program - but Crazy Egg is a fun and easy to use tool - and with better heatmapping by the looks.
