Google analytics has In-Page Analytics to show heat maps.

Interesting post, just curoius why you left out the “free” options such as: Codynamix, Attention Wizard, Click Density, or Click Heats?
For those behind the curve, and who wish to try this for the first time, it’s a less annoying than using a tool which hassles you for a payment with each free trial and then shuts down after 30days.

I use crazyegg for my website but recently came across seevolution which I find much better to see heatmaps , clickmaps etc

I also use userfly for ‘videos’ of the users on the site

It’s funny how often a site will suggest you do something and then not have a clickable link. Like your purple box, I don’t think you were aware you had planted a call for action and then left it without a forward step people could take. Last night I was trying to use a site which had a banner at the top with steps from 1 to 5. None of those links were clickable. But the one clickable link was buried at the bottom of the right corner. Not easily found.

In reply to Rajesh. One alternative I know is Usabilla, they have a limited free plan for 1 test but just 10 participants.

any free alternatives for CrazyEgg or ClickTale, even some limited editions will do for me..

I’m thinking the word ‘free’ might have something to do with those clicks?

I never thought of testing this. I was always changing components of my page to see which version converts better, but knowing where people click is vital information. just never thought of it…

Now I understand how a design change could adversely affect the site’s conversion. I feel it is vital to have this clicktest after each design change. Thanks for the post.

Interesting. I did not realize that captions were “one of the most well-read pieces of text on a page”. I never use them but I’ll start now. (It amazes me sometimes the tips that I pick up when I think I’m going to be learning something entirely different.)
