Has anyone tried http://www.tapefailure.com/ ? I ran across this today and looks very interesting, especially for publishers/affiliates. Curious if anyone has any experience with this company?
Interesting that they chose a domain with the word "failure" in it. Not something I would do... I''ll stick with crazyegg for this type of data.
jondoe... nice comment... when you're older than 7, post another one... just an interesting topic thats all
I think the service looks very interesting and useful for some sites. Who has time to sit and watch replays the cursor moving around the page though? To get a good feel for what your customers are doing, you would have to watch quite a few visitors visits, take notes, chart results, etc.. Crazy egg does a good job of giving you somehing to glance at to see trends without much work. This service may do the following, but if not, it would be more valuable if it created a heat map of cursor activity. Not just clicks, but where the cursor moved around and stopped on a particular page. I know I usually follow my eyes around the page with the cursor without even knowing it. I just turned 8! woohoo!
Wouldn't be hard to implement using AJAX. have an "onclick" for each link which posts to an AJAX script. send sessionid, id/name of link and a timestamp to db. To playplay a visitor's session...query db for sessionid order by timestamp asc. I doubt they'll be in business very long since it's so easy to implement
This type of service has existed for some time, see: http://www.robotreplay.com/ Never have used it though.
I would think that many stats will show you the behavour of your visitors anyway. That is what stats are used for really. I guess this type of program only plays it back for you so that you don't have to study the stats just incase you are not that good analysing your stats or something.
