These tools analysts do not replace each other but are complementary.

I’m planning on testing Clicktale vs Google to see how effective it is. Thank you for sharing the differences in this post.

It is the well known fact that the time visitor stayed on the Exit page is reported as 0 by Google Analystic. It’s good know that ClickTale does report the accurate time period vistor stayed on the Exit page. Also, I more like that ClickTale reports the visitor engaging time, than just visitor’s time on page Analytics reports.

Great points, the way that Google Analytics calculates bounce rate does present problems with many websites especially flash websites and landing pages.

The ability to get a secondary measurement tool that compliments your other analytics solutions if it is WebTrends or Omniture makes sense. There is no point only using 1 point of data to measure campaigns when you can use multiple points that together deliver a more complete picture.

Nice post, I’ve been using both google analytics and ClickTale for a while now. It is clear that the two compliment each other and that they pick up on the weaknesses of each other and fill in each others gaps.

In my mind, GA tells me about my site’s traffic, and ClickTale tells me about it’s visitors.
