Okay I love Google Analytics and its essential for websites, but what if you can literally ‘SEE’ how your website visitors behave? This is where Crazyegg comes into the picture:

Crazyegg is a genius of seeing your website visitor’s activity. Their are 4 ways in which they present data about your visitor. Again, I’m going to be using our case study website for this.

1. Overylay:

Overlay uses a basic ‘bar graph’ format that shows where your visitors are clicking the most. Great way to see exactly what your visitors are looking for and you job is to give it to them.

It helped me out in a way because it showed me a lot of people were clicking on my ‘Free eBook’ and ‘Testimonials’ page for my case study. This means they like more information before they make a purchase and by also mainly clicking on testimonials, it shows they are more interested in the credibility factor. So I have to work on increasing my credibility.

2. List:

In this view, you find out the percentages of the links people are clicking on your site including the images. This shows you what is working and what needs to be removed or replaced.  This is an add on to the overlay option and gives a completely different view of looking at the stats - I love percentages!

3. Heatmap:

This is where Crazyegg kicks Google Analytics BUTT! They show you a heatmap of your visitors. This single handedly can show you where your visitors take action and where you should be putting those ads at

4. Confetti 

Another way to see where the visitors are clicking EXACTLY. Plus they show you from what search engine or site the most clicks are coming from. This is priceless information folks!

I personally use this to run tests on my site’s layout everytime I change something or add something new. Usually I do this every month or so.

And to top off all this amazing news - Crazyegg is FREE for the first 1000 visitors to your site.

WARNING: “If you have an internet business and its in the beginning stages, or you are trying to get more sales from your current site, then this might be one of the most important post you’ll ever read.  So pay close attention - this is REAL internet marketing.”

Okay guys, I sent an email to my list on my case study site - (About 100+ or so) and told them that I will be raising the price of the product. The reason I’m raising the price is so I can sell more and make more money. Now I know what you are thinking, “What! Raise price to sell more?”.

Yes! It’s called perceived value.

But we’ll get to that in a moment . . .

So what happened?

I made a few sales which was great, but at this stage of the game, what I really wanted were the stats.

And they are in:

The email was sent to 104 people - who were already receiving emails from me through a weekly autoresponder. So they were being pre-sold through the information from my weekly autoresponder.

Pre-Selling is giving quality free information away to help educate your customer about the product. This is not ’selling’ at all.

Out of 104 people, only 33 actually opened their emails and 20 of them took action by clicking on the link I sent them and bottom line, I made 5 sales.

What does all of this mean?

STATS:
33/104 = 31% of people bothered opening that email. Reason why the percentage was kind of low for my standards (Especially my first email blast) was because

I implemented a autoresponder system in January and the person who signs up - gets the autoresponder on a weekly basis. However, I only had 3 autoresponder emails setup. So after contacting them for the first three weeks - they weren’t contacted at all! I missed out on almost 15 weeks of customer contact that could have increased my business substantially! This 69th percentile probably saw my email and went “What the heck is Home Booze? I don’t remember this stuff!”

I feel so stupid right now because I missed out on sales, increased return traffic and increased search engine traffic (As the links on my newsletter redirected them to a relevant page on my site).

See this is what happens when (insert your excuse here) you start too many projects at once . But I’m kind of glad because I FINALLY got a schedule figured out and printed it out which sits on my desk daily. So bottom line, create a schedule for what you do and do it daily - lack of organziation is bad for your business as you’ve just witnessed! RRRRRRR

ACTION according to STATS:
I’m going to add 20 autoresponders and keep adding one every week to make up for this BS that I pulled on my self! Feel like a total retard.

NOTE: When I mess up, I’m really hard on my self - whatever! I’ll bounce back with a vengence! I forgive my self - its okay . . .

STATS:
20/33 = 60.6% of people who did read took action within the email and visited the site. This is good percentile - considering these people were only contacted three times or less. That shows the content within the emails is good and people like it. But it can always be improved. So with this number I’m happy.

ACTION according to STATS:
I will work on the look and layout of the newsletters a little - make it more clean, and besides I have to change the logo in the newsletters anyway.

STATS:
5/20 = 25% of people who came to the site after signing up to my weekly automated newsletter bought my product. That means my conversion rate from autoresponders is 25%. According to google analytics, its even better at 5/19 which is 26%!

Again, this could have easily been in the 40 percentile or higher (Just from experience) if I only contacted them like I was suppose to. But 25% still tells me that is a very healthy conversion rate and its only going to get higher. I should also mention the ebook customers get when the sign up - its really very informative.

ACTION according to STATS:
Create more customer contact by adding all the remaining newsletters.

So overall in my opinion - SWEEEEEEET!

I love stats because stats is what its all about - Welcome to REAL Internet Marketing.

Overall Action:

• Re-organizing and creating my autoresponders.
• Modify the look of the autoreponders a little - clean it up.
• Keep adding new autoresponders every week.

Don’t let all this “Stats Talk” steer you away into non-action because keep in mind, we are in the beginning stages of this case study so get stuff like this right the first time and then once done, just promote the crap out of your website!

But before we get to that stage, their is still a lot of work to be done - I’ll keep you posted

PS: I’ll touch on the ‘Perceived Value’ thing in my next post after I jack up the price for my case study product.
