Heat Map
No matter how much thought went into the structure of a page there are times when the user does things you never expected them to do (clicking on non-relevant, non-hyperlinked links for example). A heat map is a great way of seeing what users are doing and then fine-tuning the page to the max. Labmedia’s free heat map tool is very easy to set up and it is a must have, must use bookmark.
