We have finally finished going over all the submissions that we have received in the past month. Great stuff! There were some really unique submissions, as well as many similar ones. We chose five (5) submissions based on their creativity, value and practicality to be the official contest winners.
The judging was not objective, so don’t worry if your idea was not selected as one of the winners. As promised, the winners will receive VIP accounts. In addition, we have decided to send regular invitations to the ClickTale service to all of you who have submitted a meaningful idea. Thank you for participating!
And now to the winners:
Stephen Wald from www.ipodxtras.com - for an idea about mouse movement analysis.
Adam Lewis from www.rubberstampingfun.com – for an idea about page entry/exit analysis and advanced filtering.

Update: The Contest is now officially Closed (February 1, 2007). We received over 100 entries and we plan to review them carefully over the next few days. We will inform the winners later this month.
Today, we would like to announce the launch of ClickTale’s Crazy Web Analytics Contest, your opportunity to get the web analytics you always wanted. We are opening up this competition to give you an opportunity to sound your voice and tell us the type of information you always wanted to know about your web visitors.
Specifically, imagine you could track thousands of visitors and millions of page events. How would you aggregate this information? What kind of statistics would be useful to you? What types of reports or visual maps would you like to see?
We will pick the best ideas and work with the winners to make their dreams become a reality. The winners will be awarded with VIP Beta Accounts which includes an invitation to join the ClickTale beta program immediately without waiting for their turn, as well as access to specially-made custom reports.
ClickTale collects data about every mouse position coordinate and timing, every mouse click coordinate and type, every scrolling action, and every keyboard key entry. How would you aggregate all this data? Here are some ideas that may inspire you:
A report analyzing where the page fold is located.
A report indicating how visitors are resizing their browsers upon arriving at a website.
A heat map of visitor attention based on scroll-bar location.
A heat map of mouse clicks.
A visual map of average mouse movements across a webpage.
Statistical clustering of users based on behavior attributes and displaying a representative user from each group.

A lot of people have been asking us if we have a demo.
Today we are proud to announce the first official Screencast of ClickTale in action.
And, if you are curious to see more, here is another movie.
There have also been some unofficial movies made by our users. One with Chinese BubblePLY commentary and another that was made by the Spanish site online.com.es.

We would like to thank the thousands of people that have filled out questionnaires and applied to participate in our Beta program. We were pleasantly surprised by the high-level of interest; it certainly indicates that ClickTale is a desirable service.
We are currently reviewing your applications and have decided to contact an average of 10 new Beta testers every day until we launch our product to the public. This means that hundreds of you will get the opportunity to tryout ClickTale and, through your feedback, influence its development. Unfortunately, this also means that thousands will have to wait for the full-launch.
Thanks again for your interest; we are looking forward to having you try ClickTale real soon.

ClickTale has made it to the main page of digg. Thanks to all of you who have been digging.
As expected, digg users are most concerned with privacy issues, though many are polarized. Obviously this is something that we are concerned with too. We read your comments and take them into account.

Webmasters Can Watch What Visitors Do with AJAX-based ClickTale
July 4, 2006
Unlike traditional web analytics that produce only pure statistics, ClickTale (http://www.clicktale.com/) gives webmasters the ability to watch movies of users’ individual browsing sessions. Every mouse movement, every click and every keystroke are recorded for convenient playback. With ClickTale, webmasters can improve website usability, enhance navigation, and increase website effectiveness.
In addition to movies, ClickTale provides a unique set of statistics that address important usability questions. For example, the “Percent of Page Viewed” statistic can answer “how much of the webpage did users see and how often did they scroll to the webpage’s bottom?” and the “Active Browsing Time” statistic can answer “how long did users actively browse a webpage, as opposed to just having an open inactive browser?” And there is much, much more…
ClickTale is a hosted service, so no installation is needed on the server-side or client-side and setup takes only a few minutes. Webmasters add a small piece of javascript code to their webpages. The javascript collects browsing data and transmits it to the ClickTale servers for processing. ClickTale creates movies of browsing sessions almost instantaneously and webmasters can log-in securely at anytime to view these movies.
Just as a store manager visually monitors his customers’ shopping habits, ClickTale gives website owners the ability to watch their visitors browsing habits. Only authorized website personnel can watch their website’s recordings. No activity is recorded outside of the webpage: no personal files, no internet history, no interactions with locally installed software, and users are not tracked between websites. Inside the webpage, passwords are never recorded.
ClickTale will include novel analytical capabilities that will aggregate millions of customer’s recordings providing them with a unique global perspective. ClickTale is currently running a closed beta, visit http://www.clicktale.com/ to learn more.
