WordPress Plugin: WP Clickmap

Wordpress Clickmap Plugin

WordPress Clickmap is an interesting plugin to complement the analysis of your blog statistics. While tools like Google Analytics or even WordPress.com Stats offer you a discrimination of your website statistics it doesn’t give you visual feedback of the “hottest” spots on your website. Well, this is exactly what WP Clickmap does. It builds an overlay of your most visited pages and show you the location of the clicks it received from your visitors. That gives you a lot of information if you know how to analyze it, at a first look it should give you a clear idea what is more used in your design or any dysfunctional areas (like my title that doesn’t guide you to the main page).

From the author:

For anyone who is wondering about the advantages of clickmaps, clickmaps let you see your site from a usability perspective. Your clickmaps show literally every click a user makes on a particular page. Every click is loaded into the database and over time a visual representation of collective clicks gives you an overview of the hotspots on the page.

While it is interesting to see links that are being clicked on, it is even more valuable to see where people are that are not links. Why do people keep clicking on the middle of my page?
