Crazy Egg to Track Your Traffic

When I first started out online I never bothered to track where my traffic came from. I have long since then realized that tracking our visitors is important for us as blog owners, if we are in business. Besides receiving direct feedback from regular commenter’s, tracking is essential to discovering where we can do better.

And there is always a “can do better”. No matter how much exposure our blog has we need to consistently strive to grow. I use Awstats which comes with my hosting. And I just signed up for the Google Analytics Beta. Still trying to get the hang of installing my normal Analytics to the blog. So far I haven’t managed, despite clear instructions by friends. I think my blog template might be a bit hard to suss at times as I just can’t find the </body> tag, except in the footer.

How the heck can Google track all my blog pages if I can only install it there? Maybe one of my lovely visitors might have the answers for this.

I also just signed up for the free version of Crazy Egg. The results in Crazy Egg can tell me many things regarding my blog. As described by Crazy Egg, namely

Where your visitors are clicking speaks for itself.
Here are just a few things you can discover:

• Find the right spot for your ads
• Find the right layout for a page
• Find the right place to put everything

The tracking will also supply a heat map which can tell me where my visitors focus and what they click. It comes with real live stats and the free version will allow to test for 6,000 visitors. This can give me good statistic on average which will help me to better my blogs content.

I’m actually thinking about changing my template to a more web2.0 version and am toying with some templates I have seen. Crazy Egg will help me in finalizing what will work best in terms of heat maps.

If you care for your visitors then you might want to check out Crazy Egg too.

Take care
