Click Tracking
September 3, 2007
I recently installed a click tracking plugin which allows you to see where visitors to your site click. I have resisted the temptation to post images of semi naked men and women, or a kitten with a target painted on it to see if people click on them in particular areas - and instead decided to let it run its own course of business and see what happens.
The plugin tracks on a page by page basis, and here’s a snapshot of my home page:
I guess some people will use this to see where their users click the most on a page, the information it tells you shows where you should place advertisements or special pieces of information. Mostly it shows people will just click randomly on the page - probably by acciident.
On this particular page, it seems someone - or various people - are attacking the ‘Mxx’ I sign off with.
If you wish to poke me, please use Facebook. Thank you.

That’s me attacking the signature!
I actually have no idea!
Would a “click” be considered any click of a mouse button? Because I have a handy, dandy little button on my mouse that, when clicked, acts as the “Back” button of the browser, taking me to the previous page.
So would that register as a click on the page wherever my mouse is?
Hmm.
I like it, and have added it to foolhandy.com
I do tend to click randomly to the right of most sites so that the click-wheel knows which page to scroll down but still, clever stuff…
Leave me be!

Honestly I’m not sure - I just like looking at the funny coloured dots :o)

My scroll wheel seems to know automatically that it needs to scroll the page I’m currently looking at.
Is this another oddity of the Mac?

NO! I did some extra attacking the signature this morning when I was bored.
‘ere, ‘ave some more!
