Analytics (Other Than Google) & A/B Testing Tools
-
Hey,
I have Google Analytics on my website, like most people, but I was looking at some other analytics and testing tools like heat maps, click maps, A/B, etc.
I was hoping that some of you could recommend a few that you use to see where pages are going wrong, track user behaviour and to how improve conversion rate.
I have had a look at a few websites like:
https://www.clicktale.com/
https://www.optimizely.com/It would also be interesting to know how acurate these tools actually are, they seem quite legit.
Cheers

Thanks for your suggestions guys!
-
I'm currently using Optimizely - it's a delight to use and so darned easy to set up!
You can get some actionable insights within a day or a few depending on the amount of traffic your website is receiving.

I like Crazy Egg as well. They have a 30 day money back, so just try it out for 30 days and see how it is.
-
https://www.kissmetrics.com/ is also meant to be a great product if you have a high transactional site, i.e, lots of interactions with the visitor before and after they become a customer.
Perhaps not worth it for a simple blog style website.
It's also a tool which Avinash (Guru of Analytics) speaks highly of, so it must be pretty damn good!

ClickTale is a great site that can provide you with a lot of insight into your visitors and how they use your site. You can pretty much observe users as they navigate your site, and see exactly what pages they go to before they convert. It's a goldmine of user data.
CrazyEgg isn't quite as powerful, but it can generate some neat heat maps of what are the most clicked elements on your site, which can be great for rearranging elements on your site and improving clicks & conversions.
Another neat analytics packages is ChartBeat, which provides realtime analytics so you can see users navigating through your site as it's actually happening. Great for analyzing user behavior and identifying traffic spikes as they're happening.
-
If you are looking for heat and scroll-maps, have a look at Crazy Egg. I have yet to find one better. However, it is a paid service and despite what they say on the site, if you mail them, they do have a monthly payment that is non-contract.

Analytics : Goal tracking for multiple payment methods
ello! I don't know if anyone else has come across this problem, but our ecommerce site offers two payment methods during checkout. I've set up goals and they successfully record the total number of transactions. Our site offers two payment methods (credit card and purchase order) and once you hit the 'select your payment' page, you're directed to different pages to make payment and end up on the thank you page. I created two goals, a credit card one that has "funnel" turned on and lists every page a 'credit card' customer would undertake, and a 'purchase order' goal listing all the pages a customer who undertake when making a "purchase order" payment. Google is however recording figures for both. Say I had 10 credit card orders and 5 purchase order, my Goals report 15 for both. Anyone come across this?

Have My SEO Cake & Eat It - Mix Viral Content & Business Content?
Hello, I optimize for a fashion, eCommerce site which has catalogue pages and product pages. http://www.zando.co.za/ We're currently working on a large "blog" which tons of great content designed to attract readers, links and tons of long tail traffic. We'll be doing how-to videos, celeb interviews, top-tens, etc. etc. We'll even have a UGC community section eventually. Really great. Now, I want to use the links generated by this section to rank for generics like this: For example: I want to rank for "Lingerie" and I have this page set up as the target: http://www.zando.co.za/women/clothing/lingerie/ I create some amazing content that generates lots of links containing the word "lingerie" . That awesome content lives in:(hypothetical URL:) http://www.zando.co.za/fashion/magazine/how-lingerie-has-changed-over-50-years/ I want to (and this is where you come in 😉 get people linking to my catalogue page (http://www.zando.co.za/women/clothing/lingerie/) where they can find a banner or something alluding to that piece of link bait (the /fashion/magazine/ url). Perhaps similar to the Wordpress style <read more="">page break on posts?</read> Reason is, I want my "Money-Page" to get the links with "Lingerie" in it. Problem is, it'll be another click to the thing they want to find. Also, say I decide a few months later that I want to do another piece, like "lingerie in films" and do the same. My 'banner' idea would get very crowded or, it would mean that I bump the 50-years piece, which then makes for bad UX for readers clicking through looking for the old piece. Or perhaps this can all be solved with good design? Here's a WBF talking about mixing content: http://www.seomoz.org/blog/mixing-viral-content-with-business-content-whiteboard-friday Does anyone have an example of someone doing this well? PS. Was also thinking that on my "archive'' url, in between the content, I'll query for the top products that, that piece speaks to and make it possible for people to add to cart as they're reading the link bait content that is relevant to the product. Cheers Paul.

How can I track the traffic source/keyword of form submissions?
I'm using Google Analytics on www.nhfinehomes.com and would like to track the source of leads submitted via form submissions. Ideally, I could track if the lead originated from organic search (and what keyword phrase), PPC, referral links, etc. Is this possible with Google Analytics and if so, can anyone point to some documentation on how to do this or better yet someone who can help me set this up? This site is running ASP.NET and uses JQuery so there is not a 'traditional' thank you page that I can reference. I'm not a programmer and do not pretend to be one! Thanks in advance. Link
