Adsense Heatmap for Your Sites

If you are like me and trying to figure out where people are looking on your sites, then this is for you. I was reading another blog somewhere in cyberland and something caught my eye. I was trying to figure out some Adsense optimization techniques to improve my CTR on several of my niche blogs.

One of the frustrating parts is I don’t know where people are looking when they arrive on my site. Are they even looking at the navigation? What about where they are clicking? That would be really helpful. I found a product that will create a heatmap for you based on your timeline of daily, weekly or monthly.

The product is called Clickheat by labsmedia and it looks pretty good. While I haven’t installed it yet, I plan on doing so in the next couple of days on my servers to start tracking clicks on my sites.

Now, here is the most amazing part of the whole system. I know you are wondering what it costs, so let me tell you that I have worked out a special deal with labsmedia for my readers. For a limited time it is free! Well, it really isn’t a special deal as it is free anyways, but it sounded good, right?

Here are the requirements for your server that you will need to run Clickheat:

- on the browser’s client: Javascript (tested on Firefox 2.0, Internet Explorer 6 and 7, Konqueror…)
- on the server: either Linux or Windows (since ClickHeat 1.3 release), Apache or Lighttpd (other may work fine), PHP, the graphic library GD2 (PNG support needed).

ps…I am finally back from vacation and two weeks without the internet. I hope to be posting more regularly here now that I am finally getting organized with my sites and getting caught up!
