[...] For longer entries, try placing a blended Medium Rectangle (300 x 250) into your post using AdSense Deluxe. I would recommend you use a service like CrazyEgg to find out the most clicked spot on your blog post and place your Ad right next to it. [...]

Google Analytics can not track links to e.g. .exe files in such a way that they show up in site overlay… That “javascript:urchinTracker” thing is really kinda worthless (IMHO) if you have lots of pages with downloads and external buy now links… At least if one uses site-overlay to see what visitors are doing.

It looks like a good product but whatever it offers is currently being offered by Google Analytics as well. Also, their free plan may change in future and there are quite a few limitations on it as of now.

I like Crazy Egg’s UI. It’s a lot better than Google Analytic’s Site Overlay.

Technorati allows you to track outbound links easily.

I tried it some time back and I didnt see any value add in the application. The way the data is shown i.e. heatmaps etc might look nice, but how many of them are interested in the UI.

With Analytics, you can easily track outbound links which I recently covered here

I’d rather have the same data show up in a table format rather than in some slow UI.
And as far as ad tracking goes, you can create channels in Adsense and use the same in the ad script.

My point is not to throw away the application, people have put effort into it.

When there are simplied methods to accomplish the same, why would anybody go for a paid service like crazyegg ?. reporting !!

(The free service isn’t of much use with few visitor click tracking and no live reporting)

Even Google Analytics offers this feature and I use it regularly. I liked the crazy egg’s interface and I am definitely going to try it and will give you my feedback about it.
