As expected, Google has removed the crappy site overlay from Google Analytics and replaced it with a new tool called “In-Page analytics”, after they admit that “it hasn’t worked as well it could.” from the official GA blog.  With the new In-Page Analytics, you can see your Google Analytics data superimposed on your website as you browse.    You could trace the performance of individual text and image linksand also check if the said links are converting or not.  Check out the latest video:

Visualize clickthrough with crazyegg

{lang: 'ar'}

Crazyegg is a tool that I recommended for visualizing your visitors behavior.   You could trace the every clicks your visitors make and discover how they are using your website, so as to optimize the web usability and then increase your conversions.   With crazyegg, analytics come alive by using the heatmap that shows you who’s clicking where, and understand which are the most important elements to your visitors and see how they can be enhanced.  The set up is extremely easy, what you need to do is just simply copy and paste a few lines of code (it is common for all page-tagging analytic tools  :> ) and that’s all.   The price is ridiculously low, as it costs me only $19 per month.  It is crazy, and that it is crazyegg.

World Wide Web Consortium (W3C)

{lang: 'ar'}

To lead the World Wide Web to its full potential by developing protocols and guidelines that ensure long-term growth for the Web.

The above is the mission of the World Wide Web Consortium, sometime we call ‘W3C’.   In the last decade, the W3c has developed 110 web guidelines and standard, which is known as W3C Recommendations.   W3C Recommendation is a specification that, after extensive consensus-building, has received the endorsement of W3C Members and the Director, to encourage the wide acceptance of the standards.

W3C refers to this goal as “Web interoperability.”  By publishing and promoting open (non-proprietary) standards for Web languages and protocols, W3C seeks to avoid market fragmentation and thus Web fragmentation.  W3C is located all over the world.  W3C Members work together to design Web technologies that build upon its universality, giving the world the power to enhance communication and commerce for anyone, anywhere, anytime and using any device.” , said Tim Berners-Lee, W3C Director and inventor of the World Wide Web.
