The CrazyEgg told me Where People Click on My Blog

May 12, 2010 - Last Modified: April 1, 2014 by Hesham Zebida 1,433

The Crazy Egg

I have started to use CrazyEgg service earlier this month, CrazzyEgg is founded by Neil Patel, and I would like to share some nice information about FamousBloggers.net with our dear readers like where people click most on the blog home page according to @crazyegg , and also I am going to tell you why I removed Wibiya toolbar!

OK, so… I always wanted to know where my blog readers and visitors click on my blog, and actually the great CrazyEgg heat map is pretty cool giving me the information I need, I am only checking the main page at the moment, and I am using the basic membership, it’s for only $9 a month which is not expensive at all if you think about the benefits from it, and oh! before I forgot, @CrazyEgg people are so nice, they are on our Sponsor page, they actually sponsoring our contests for several months, so it doesn’t make sense not to try their service personally 😉

I am going to use CrazyEgg on the coming a few months to decided what parts of the blog I should modify, change or remove, and I wil be sharing with you the information if there is someone interested to know, you can tell me in the comments!

The screen shots I am going to share with you was taken 23 days back, and it preset activities on our blog during that period till today! Here you can see where people click!

Another shot for the nice CrazyEgg heat map:

And my favorite, I now know where people come from and and what they do on the blog:

From Where and Do What?
From Where and Do What?

From where and do what?

I will now explain some details about our blog visitors behavior and what they like to do most depending on where they come from (referred):

1- Google Referrals

They are mostly clicking on sidebar ads, and it seems they are used to search so they are using the search box again trying to find some other stuff, also they are visiting the “write for us page” and our about us page, I respect people who check the about page 😉

2- Twitter Referrals

They are following us on twitter @FamousBloggers and some of them has contacted us, clicked a few ads, and of course retweeted a few posts and only one person clicked on our advertising page 😉

3- ElegantThemes blog Referrals

I do a few comment when Nick deliver new themes, so a few visitors (exactly 50 visitors) came from my comments on @ElegantThemes blog in these 23 days, they contacted us and searched the blog specially our guest blogging contest post

4- Ben-Lang.com Referrals

I have brought an ad on Ben’s blog, and by the way, it’s one of the best ads I ever brought, so I recommend it for any one buying ads though BuySellAds. People who are reffered by this ad is searching the blog, clicking some ads, checking our advertising page, and also submit your article page (Nice! 🙂

5- TheWebBlend.com Referrals

I also brought an ad at TheWebBlend site thgouh BuySellAds, I can say it’s not a huge traffic, but it’s targeted, people who are referred clicks on other ads, and check write for us page, and do some retweets, I can say they are educated people 😉

6- BuySellAds Referrals

They know what they are doing, they head right a way to our About us page 😉 Check out BuySellAds Page maybe you will find something interesting!

Ok, that’s it for now, the other Referrals that I didn’t mention what’s below 30 visits! So I didn’t include it, and now I want to tell you about the most interesting parts and the hot areas on our blog home page according to CrazyEgg stats fast study:

  • Our Page Navigation (very HOT)
  • Search box
  • Sidebar ads
  • Write for us page
  • About us Page
  • Advertise page
  • Sidebar image buttons

What after 23 days from using CrazyEgg service?

I certainly will continue using it, I know now some modification that I have to do on the blog, some of these are:

  • Replace the default search with with Google Search
  • Remove the MMO Widget from the footer (I have a better idea!)
  • Update our “Write for us” page (I like that one 🙂
  • Update our advertising page
  • Update our About us page

Why I removed the Wibiya Toolbar?

First of all, feedbacks I got about the toolbar and all it’s features was great, even some of my friends started to use it on their blogs because I had 5 good reason to use Wibiya toolbar, and some of my friends are looking forward to know how thing will go, so.. now I can say that everything has advantages/disadvantages, and if you are following me you probably will know that I am always testing new stuff, getting feedbacks from our blog readers, visitors and our bloggers friend then I put this together plus my personal opinion and experience for you to decided what’s the best for your blog before wasting your time, so I am not going to say I am not against using Wibiya toolbar, and I am in love with it because it has some great futures that I am really going to miss, and I think I have god reason to remove it, and of course you don’t have to do the same, as I believe that what’s not working for me could work for someone else, it all depends how you are using it!

Here is my 3 reasons not to use Wibiya toolbar:

1- This is all good, but they simply don’t really use it, so… I am thinking again, why I will have something looks nice if people don’t really use it?! So I have decided to remove it!

2- The second reason why I removed Wibiya toolbar, because it’s annoying the CrazyEgg captured image, it’s in the middle of the page all the time, and it’s really disturbing and annoying me! What to do? CrazyEgg wins!

3- I have another reason came to me from a feedback in the comment by my friend @JohnAguiar, I will quote it here for you to see see the wisdom of a Twitter & Social Media expert:

It is a great tool for the right blogger.

Many features and it looks good. I like that you can post any message in the Notification box.. nice lil feature.

But for the blogger that wants to keep their traffic and be greedy, then this isn’t the tool for them lol I’m greedy, I don’t mind sharing traffic with the right bloggers

Thanks to John, he gave me another reason to remove Wibiya toolbar, and I will take the chance to tell you about his Crazy simple 7 Steps to promote a new post, I think we should learn from it! And .. yeah John you are right, I was thinking of your comment since the first time I read it, and that was a nice reason behind finding other more useful feature to add them to the blog, features that make people stay, I even think of integrate some coffee machine system into the comments section, I think this will keep them around for a while 😉

For example the @Anywhere that I have added to the comments section, and actually it works in the whole blog even in the post body, and now it’s more simple to follow blog visitors who comment and leave their Twitter ID with out leaving the blog, unless you want to check who is behind that Twitter account, or if you really… really want to leave the blog lol!

The good thing is Adny of @CommentLuv have updated the TwitterLink plugin, so basically TwitterLink is @Anywhere compatible now, all this makes me feel god because people interact with my posts in a great way and I am feeling that I am giving something useful to the community and not wasting my time testing those stuff!

Conclusion

CrazyEgg is a very cool and useful service, and I am going to use it and study those results more to enhance my blog sections and parts including it’s design and ads placements trying to put everything on the right place, I was collecting data from the main page only in the last 23 days, so I think it’s the time to go more deeper inside my blog pages and posts.

Wibiya toolbar is very nice add to any blog if you really need it and know how to use it!

CrazyEgg and Wibiya toolbar is not going together, so put in mind that you will have to remove the toolbar if you are going to use CrazyEgg

If there is anything you would like to know about, just Ask!

    Really helpful post. Its really crazy to know which part of the blog is being clicked most of the times. Thanks for sharing this. I am planning to try this for my blog. Hope it will be useful.
  2. James says:
    Wow. This seems like a superb service. Would definitely be helpful in optimizing the site for Adsense. Thank you for sharing.
  3. Chuck says:
    Thanks for the post - I have been thinking about trying out CrazyEgg for awhile now.
    • Hesham says:
      It's affordable and useful for any blogger, I am sure you will enjoy it
  4. Jason Jumat says:
    Oh heck! I was never aware that you actually get services like CrazyEgg that can look into your website this deep! This is definitely one of the most awesome tools! ( I guess I sound like an overexcited Newbie, utter newbie). Thanks!
    • Hesham says:
      Well... you are going to need it you you want to make a lot of money now! ;)
  5. David Leonhardt says:
    Crazy Egg was actually very useful in redesigning a client website. We came to understand that certain images were being clicked, and that they should therefore be hyperlinked. We saw that certain elements in the navigation drew more interest even though lower on the page, and those should be given more prominence. .-= NEW from David Leonhardt´s last blog ..Four unique social bookmarking gems =-.
    • Hesham says:
      Exactly, it's so useful to see how people act on the site, and how their behavior differently from site to another! Thank you David for your nice feedback
  6. Karl Foxley says:
    I have been a user of Crazy Egg for what seems like a long time now. I find the data invaluable for improving a quality landing page. Always a pleasure to read your posts Hesham, Karl .-= NEW from Karl Foxley´s last blog ..The Only Collection Of Premium Wordpress Themes You’ll Need =-.
    • Hesham says:
      Thank you Karl for your feedback, I love CrazyEgg and how it works, of course it's price also! It's ideal for improving landing pages, I think after a few month/years I will say the same like you said "I have been a user of Crazy Egg for what seems like a long time now" ;)
      • Karl Foxley says:
        One of the features I find useful is the fact you can see exactly where on your page generates the most clicks. Don't be surprised when you notice that you pictures are getting clicked on heavily, some people do like to take people's images without asking. .-= NEW from Karl Foxley´s last blog ..Submit Your Website To CSS Galleries =-.
        • Hesham says:
          This is true, actually almost 90% of thumbnail images are taken, only a few people contact me to ask!
  7. Colleen says:
    I'll consider it. Some of our main landing pages could use some more analytics to increase conversion rates. I'm thinking a heat map might tell me some things I do not know otherwise. The price is certainly reasonable. .-= NEW from Colleen@Kennewick Real Estate´s last blog ..North Richland Washington Homes For Sale and Real Estate =-.
    • Hesham says:
      I really recommended because it's price in so a fordable!
  8. Onibalusi Bamidele says:
    Wow! Great and detailed post. CrazyEgg is really a great service :)
    • Hesham says:
      Glad you like it buddy ;) are you using any heat map service on your new blog?
      • Onibalusi Bamidele says:
        Hi Hesham, Not yet, I am not presently using any heat mapping service on my blog. Thanks a lot, -Onibalusi

    I been thinking about getting crazy egg as well. It looks good and I think this tool can be helpful for website owners. Great review Hesham. .-= NEW from element321´s last blog ..Hootsuite Versus TweetDeck =-.

      Actually it's very helpful if you really decided to use it to redesign your blog for better performance

    i also used wibiya but it add nothing to my blog....and this crazy egg toolbar is awesome..only if it would have been little cheaper .-= NEW from Tushar´s last blog ..How To Create A Great About Me Page For Your Blog =-.
    • Hesham says:
      CrazyEgg is a heat map and Stats application, I think the price is not that expensive as it's $9 per month for starting, but anyways ... I hope someone will read this and respond in a way or another ;)
  11. Robert says:
    I have heard about Crazy Egg and was considering giving it a try. After seeing your screen shots and reading your article, I'm now convinced. With regard to Wibiya, I removed it from my blog a few months ago. I also found it to be distracting and my readers rarely made use of it. Thanks for the very informative post. .-= NEW from Robert´s last blog ..Want Success? Do What The Successful Affiliates Do =-.
    • Hesham says:
      This is great Robert, I hope to hear from you about your experience with CrazyEgg after using it for a while!
  12. Tola says:
    I honestly wanted to try out the crazy egg people but once I realised there was a few, I had to drop out... :(. Who knows maybe one day I'll have enough money to install the tracker on my blog. Yeah, I've never really been a fan of the Wibiya toolbar. I've always found it a tad bit distracting for me... So good riddance!
    • Hesham says:
      A few What? Yeah, I had to move Wibiya too, it's use not working fine on this blog!
  13. Agent Deepak says:
    Crazyegg is a nice tool. I have heard of it before but haven't tried it as it is a paid service. May try it in future. I have also removed my Wibiya tool bar from my Blog. It seemed that not many people used it. .-= NEW from Agent Deepak@Blogging. Marketing & Success´s last blog ..Blog Launch Giveaway Winner Announced =-.
    • Hesham says:
      CrazyEgg is not that expensive, the basic start at $9 per month, so.. put in mind that you use a service ONLY when you know that you really need it! For me I some times try some services to write about them, it doesn't mean I will use it for ever, but I like CrazEgg! Thanks for the feedback about Wibiya
  14. Brendan says:
    Cool man! As you know, I'm a huge fan of CrazyEgg and it's interesting to see how others use it as a resource for making their sites better for the user. .-= NEW from Brendan @ Online Marketing Consultant´s last blog ..Carolyn Shelby: SEO Consulting Advice =-.
    • Hesham says:
      It's actually exciting to collect information about blog visitors and touch the sensitive places of a blog ;) I will proceed with a few changes to this blog on the first chance I have!
  15. John Paul says:
    Hesham.. CrazyEgg looks cool.. I like the heat maps. Funny I been following Neils blog for mnths, yet never jumped on CE. I will now. TY for the mention, I appreciate it :) I'm glad you removed the WBar.. your blog doesn't need it man.. You have good following and enough great content to keep people here.. the bar becomes a distraction and a way for them to leave your blog.. and we don't want that lol .-= NEW from John Paul@Make Money Every Day´s last blog ..Breaking Into The Top 20 Internet Marketers Online With No List =-.
    • Hesham says:
      That's cool! I actually got an email from Wibiya guys after removing the Toolbar asking for the reason, I was having this post ready since last week, so I copy and past that part of the post talking about it and emailed them back! Thanks to you & to CrazyEgg, you gave me a good reason to remove it :)

        • Murlu says:
          I agree about the bar - it's a nice edition to many websites to make it more social but it sometimes gets in the way of the content. Many times I just want to read a post, others I want to comment or socialize. Blogging is already quite social due to comments which the bar overkills it. It's a great tool but I agree with John Paul - not really for FamousBloggers. .-= NEW from Murlu´s last blog ..How To Choose A Profitable Niche Blog Topic =-.

    At work we use Clicktale which has really answered a lot of questions about how users interact with the website. I've been meaning to try CrazyEgg for some time. Since you're open to questions, Clicktale uses a record features so you can directly see how the users focuses on content, does CrazyEgg offer anything such as this? Also, is there any way to export data (possibly as a spreadsheet) so you could run reports about which pages are most frequently visited and the such? Thanks! .-= NEW from Murlu´s last blog ..Techniques To Unlock Your Creativity And Innovation =-.
    • Hesham says:
      I have checked Clicktale and they seem to be awesome, I can see that they provide more information than CrazyEgg dose! CrazyEgg doesn't seem to have exportation for the data, but you can just share it with other persons! I think what makes CrazzyEgg more popular is the price or membership, Clicktale is more higher is the price and probably it will work much better for big companies that can afford it! Thanks a lot Murlu for informing us about Clicktale!
      • Murlu says:
        Quick update: I was taking a look at CrazyEgg in detail today and I agree, the price tag is very attractive. The basic $9 for 10,000 visitors is great for a blog just starting out while the upper levels is perfect for larger websites such as eCommerce and very popular blogs. I enjoy keeping things to the minimal, keep it focused on the content. Heatmaps gives you a great idea of how your users interact with the site so if something has no value, don't be afraid to remove it. .-= NEW from Murlu´s last blog ..How To Choose A Profitable Niche Blog Topic =-.

    • Hesham says:
      We agree that the toolbar is going to work for the right bloggers and blog, you should test it on your blog ;)
  18. Ingrid Abboud says:
    Hola Hesham, A very helpful post. Thanks for sharing this info with us. It's always nice to get feedback from others that are better informed. Strangely enough, I was actually just checking out the Wibiya website only a few minutes prior to reading your post here. I wasn't really familiar with CrazyEgg, although I have come across their name several times. I'll make sure to take a more thorough look at it now that I know you recommend it. Cheers
    • Hesham says:
      No problem ;)
