What is Digg?93 Comments
- acsseo, on 10/12/2007, -1/+22Crazy Egg here...We are working on fixing things like that, flash is tricky, but if you send us some specifics, we will work on fixing it, please contact us.
- TheAttacks, on 10/12/2007, -0/+20I wish you could view the heat maps for sites such as google or digg, that'd be awesome.
- acsseo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+16Crazy Egg is quite a bit different then the overlay that Google Analytics offers, even beyound our heatmap, we can track things that they do not, and they show you lots of data that we do not. Give Crazy Egg a try, I think you'll realize the difference.
- acsseo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+15We are working on that issue but Digg traffic is not minor by any means.
- kyriakos, on 10/12/2007, -1/+16google must have the least interesting heatmap I presume
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+15The same KIND of thing. Google Analytic's overlay sucks. I hate going to that page. It's so unorganized and takes too much work to see what you want.
Crazy Egg blows it out of the water. - webtickle, on 10/12/2007, -0/+12I have not used it, but I found it from http://www.solutionwatch.com/493/crazy-egg-launched-visualize-visitor-clicks/ which is an in-depth review on Crazy Egg. The screen shots looked pretty cool
- JasonPrini, on 10/12/2007, -3/+14Or you can do it yourself:
http://blog.corunet.com/english/the-definitive-heatmap - infowar, on 10/12/2007, -0/+11Amazing...the heat map does it for me.
- TheAttacks, on 10/12/2007, -1/+11I've seen this before, it's pretty cool and probably a good tool to use if you want to maximize adsense revenue.
- acsseo, on 10/12/2007, -1/+10Thats what we wish too :-)
- ortel, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9because he seems like a decient guy.. and everybody has to make a dollar some where.
It's a service that helps webmasters with their sites..
There are hundreds of scripts to perform anything..
Yes there is apache for FREE.. so why do people pay for hosting?
(because people like getting laid not configuring httpd.conf)
It's a no brainer service.. Thats why you'd pay...
[rant]
I'm just tired of people, ignoring the hours of labor it takes to create a decient solution.
I am totaly not related to this company, or concept.. I think the service he is selling is a little to cosmetic for any real analysis.
[/rant] - majeztic, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9Nice design. ;)
- kyriakos, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8looks interesting.. I might actually convince the company I work for to get an account.
- Moocat, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7A small business on their opening day gets the benefit of the doubt in my opinion until proven otherwise. I don't see any customers who use the service complaining and I can access the site just fine. Give it a few minutes.
- Cander, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8Nice concept
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -3/+9$3000 for a pretty UNIX system?
People pay for pretty things. - acsseo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6We just got our load issues solved, please check it out again if you had problems before. Things should be very snappy now. We are also lifting our 500 / day limit in a few minutes here...so feel free to signup for a free plan, we are waiting for you guys :-)
- acsseo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6se7en11: Can you shoot me an email of what exactly you mean, I'd appreciate it and it will help us get it fixed. http://www.crazyegg.com/contact
- smhill, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6Congrats on the launch!
Hey John, nice work! ;) - kyriakos, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6I'll get in touch. I really like the concept of crazyegg.
- wild, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6What would help me, as a designer, is to see the progression of clicks. So if you could tell me what was being clicked first, and then second, and then third, that would help me understand the way people are thinking of my site.
- cardmagic, on 10/12/2007, -3/+9You can not get heatmaps of where people click in cpanel and awstats.
- acsseo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Psychotron, we do have a free plan that limits the amount of visits tracked per month. And since, currently, Crazy Egg is not designed to be put on every page, and is more of a testing solution, you will learn how to improve things with just the free plan.
- acsseo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5We want to do things like that, once things settle down :-)
- sjalloul, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Very interesting way to view your information if your a visual about your results, or drilll down click by click analysis person!
- panique, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5@psychotron - there is a concept in the industry known as "the build or buy decision". $19/month is a pretty cheap buy, compared to the number of hours * well-paid techie rate you have to pay someone to setup and maintain an open source solution.
- acsseo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Hehe...
- TheAttacks, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6SO if a company choose to, we could view their heat map?
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -7/+12$19, $49, and $99 per MONTH for a toy that makes a prettier display of the same data you get with CPanel and Awstats for free???
- Bradl3y, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6By default flash is rendered on top of everything else in the window, infact i think it technically does place it in a different window in your window manager. Setting the WMODE to opaque or transparent will solve this issue, however it is not supported by all browsers and is not yet supported on linux. The best way for the software to solve this issue would be to automatically set wmode to opaque if there is not a mode currently set, and have a button to replace all flash with placeholders as an optional alternative for people with older versions of flash or an incompatible OS/browser.
- panique, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4That's pretty weird dude.
- Room214, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Cool tool. The heatmaps bring a great visual aspect to the usually data heavy reports that accompany analytics programs.
- alantocheri, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4I wonder if it works with RoR layouts or if inserting their code into a layout would produce all the pages' data to be mashed together. Very cool tool though!
- wicketr, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5Maybe it's just me, but does anyone else get the feeling that some privacy group will be soon following the AJAX craze of tracking users??
If I remember correctly, back in the 90s they took some functions out of javascript because they were a *hazard* to a users privacy. - acsseo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Thanks, the visual representation is the whole point of Crazy Egg, to make it easier to understand data.
- acsseo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4We are about to lift that limit, since we hit it before we expected :-)
Please try again in a few minutes. - davidpardo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4It shouldn't have any impact in user load times. The javascript must be lightweight and the actual logging has an almost-negigible load on the servers. Apache can log more than a hundred million clicks a day in a single-disk single-processor machine.
- acsseo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Deesnutz: We are already working on scaling, and were prepared, just that Rubyonrails is giving us a bit of a hard time, nothing like the Digg effect as a gigantic "load test" :-)
- acsseo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3TheAttacks, the thought has crossed our minds ;-)
- tainted, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4Buying a car for $10,000+ and pumping gas into it for $3.00+/gallon? Why would you want to do that when walking is free? Why would you want to pay for clothes when fig leaves are free?
- Coruscamp, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4Pretty cool. I'd totally implement this in my website if it would show heat all over the site, not just on links. It'd be interesting to see how many places just get clicked on randomly.
- Cander, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3I meant in general. I wasn't implying it was just conceptual. :p
- al28p, on 10/12/2007, -5/+8this is a sick idea
- tainted, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3This concept is so cool, I predict within three years, all major websites will either crazyegg or some lame copycat derivative of it. I called it here and now. Press the digg button damn it!
- notfred, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Sure, there are better and cheaper tools, but it's pretty and intuitive.
- joeyjojo, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4Yes, I've tried clickdensity as well. It's nice.
Like all web stats, a heat map is not a be-all end-all solution and is merely yet another way to present a subset of the data. It is pretty, though, and management likes pretty. - kyriakos, on 10/12/2007, -4/+6cardmagic er.. how exactly do u do that?
yeah its a bit.. expensive for what it does. considering what Google Analytics offers you for free. - joeyjojo, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4Why have someone build you a house when you can do it yourself?
Why have someone fix your car when you can do it yourself?
Why have someone grow your food when you can do it yourself? - ChrisGilliard, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4"Tracking 500 Internal Server Error clicks and counting"
Priceless. -
