Crazy Egg - One more web analytics tool review before calling it a night
Posted November 7th, 2007 by ChrisI'm coming to the end of my web analytics heat map blog-a-thon, and have one more post in me before calling it quits.
After testing out the web analytics software, I tested out the seemingly popular (based on other blog entries on the subject) Crazy Egg heat map analytics tool. I let it sit long enough to get a few clicks to see how the service differs from the ClickHeat program.

Using the ClickHeat Web Service on a Drupal Site
Posted November 6th, 2007 by ChrisSince it doesn't look like there is currently a Drupal Module available yet for ClickHeat, I thought I'd just to a quick how-to integration until someone puts together a module for it (maybe me!):

Heat Map
Tell me that's not a whole lot of fun!
What do these particular analytics tell me about my web site?
Before getting into a review of ClickHeat, let's see what we can glean from the heat map above:
"Inspired By My Mouse" or "Heat Maps"
Posted November 6th, 2007 by ChrisI've experimented with a number of mice over the last couple of years (I don't mean the fuzzy kind) and keep coming back to this 10-dollar HP optical mouse. It was the first mouse I had that glowed all the time, and maybe for that reason it's carved out a special place in my heart.
Because this particular mouse has been subject to so much handling, it's got some battle marks. Take a look:
