Hi everyone,

I'm looking for an analytics solution that can do some click tracking or heat mapping. One of the sites I'm responsible is mainly a gateway to a lot of other sites within the organization - but hosted on different servers. I need to be able to track where people go from the home page (which links they click).

Does anyone know of a good solution for this? Has anyone used phpMyVisites? That looks like it might be helpful... Right now we're running Google Analytics and awstats but neither of those can do this.

What about Crazy Egg or Click Density? Anyone had experience with those? Are they worth the cost?

A friend recommended Crazy Egg to me not so long back, though we haven’t played around with it yeat we intend to soon, but they have a free package, it doesn't allow many visitors or pages you can track but you can give it a go before committing yourself.

why don't you try statcounter.com. ..this tool provides a detailed report about the users (where did it came from and the landing page)..

I need click tracking, not general web stats. We already have AW stats and Google Analytics running.

I intend to try that free package on Crazy Egg, although on the page I need it for it would probably be used up within a few hours.

Jeevesbond and I were talking and we're thinking it might be possible to code something up using Ajax. All you'd have to do is capture the onclick and record the target element.

I appreciate that the page would be used up in a few hours, I meant purely for testing out the software.
If you think you could code something up that fitted the bill and you have the time to do so, id go down that route.
