Tracking user behaviour on a site can be quite tricky, I agree. You get lot of questions instead of answers starting from what metrics to track and what tools to employ to how long to track a metric. Having said that, I should admit that heatmaps are fun to look at and a more easy [...]
To a lot of people, finding out what their audience wants is a big deal.
They’ll run tests, view heatmaps of their site, perform in person studies and at times, still not provide what their audience is really looking for. Despite me writing an article with some of these suggestions, I’m a big believer in the [...]
