Sometimes we wonder why users are leaving the website without registration, making a purchase, etc. Best way to find out is to ask them. For this purpose you can use cool new web 2.0 web services such as BetaEasy. It allows you place "Feedback" button right on your site.

Clicking on it, users will see the feedback form where they can leave their
suggestions concerning your website. All feedbacks are collected in one place which makes it very easy to manage. Users can vote on feedback, discuss and solve problems on public forum. BetaEasy is also available for software beta testing. You can integrate service with any software or web application, regardless of programming language.
