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:


Click Tracking

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…

    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.

Got something to say?
