Yes, I tried CrazyEgg recently. I’m a fan of eyetracking studies, but click heatmaps tell little more about site usability then just measuring the links.

Clickmaps are fun to play with and CrazyEgg has alot of other cool features. I recommend everyone to at least try it.

Peter, have you tried CrazyEgg tool? This one does not reflect in-depth customer travel by your site, but perfectly monitors what people do at particular page. I especially like their Heatmap presentation (you can see by link I beforementioned)

It is interesting what’s your opinion on this service?

I don’t know every analytics system, but I have used Webtrends, Clicktracks, Google Analytics, Onestat and many more. Every system needs its own tweaks because none of them are perfect. So far my favourite for ecommerce is Webtrends, but you need quite some knowledge to make use of all its good features.

The most important feature that is absent in Google Analytics and available in Webtrends is visitor segmentation. In every report you can track groups of visitors segmented on any property.

Which professional web analytics software do you use to track an online shop?

Do you know free alternatives with same functions as etracker (advanced)?

I want to analyze shopping carts and track single users and such things.

Nice article. Found you via your comment on Lee Odden’s list. Hope you post more “in detail” technical articles. I’m still in the learning phase, and the more of this I can read, the better.

Thanks again.
