Shoemoney also had a good interview on his radio show with the creators of Crazyegg too.

I believe as well as having the paid stats, they also mean to mine the anonymous user data as part of the their business model.

I think at the time of the interview (Oct 06?) they had over 30,000 paid subscriptions or so.

There are a number of sites which do this - in fact speedtrap have been providing heatmap-type overlays for ages. If you want a hosted and perhaps more commercially focused offering, try clickdensity.com. They’ve also recently added A/B testing which I haven’t yet tried out but looks astonishing.

[...] John Chow has a very interesting link on his blog recently. He reviewed the website crazyegg whose tagline is ‘visualize your visitors’. This service lets you track, with great detail, what visitors view and where they go when they visit your site. Especially cool is the HEATMAP feature which lets you easily visualize the hot (and the cold) areas of your website. They have a free version if your traffic is under 5000 hits a month. Give it a try, I think you’ll like it. [...]

Calvin,

Let me first state that I am not familiar with CrazyEgg’s particular tracking methods but..

It is possible that people are clicking on sections outside your margin in order to activate your page in their browser. This happens when people want to use their down arrows on there keybord in order to scroll on a page.

For instance on this site one of the first things I did was click on the far right side of the screen. This allows me to then use the arrow keys on my keyboard.

A lot of people do this without even realizing it.
