Someone asked me today at a client whether they could allow their sales and marketing people to watch the web stats in real time as they sent out their latest email broadcast.
So what we set up was a nice big plasma screen in the meeting room, a buffet lunch and Get Clicky on the plasma live.
GetClicky for those who don’t know it is a fantastic and very accessible web analytics service that allows you to put the power of analytics in the hands of the people who use it.
One great feature in Get Clicky is the ‘Spy’ feature. This allows you to see in real time as people hit the site.
As Clicky is so friendly to view and tries to resolve the IP of the visitor to the company who owns it we could often clearly see a known customer or prospect coming into the site from the email and watch them as they browsed the site.
One sales guy even stopped eating the buffet to run and get a pad to take notes of a prospect browsing slowly through products he didn’t even know they used.
Its a geeky way to have lunch but I think it paid for itself and my time easily.
If you haven’t tried it yet why not go grab a free 30 day trial of GetClicky now?

God that sounds amazing! I can just hear my techie screaming now about how it’ll slow down the server… Does it? After all speed is now considered a hugely important factor according to the latest Joost blogging and google’s thoughts on the subject tie in.
Should it just be used for a short while as an investigative tool or can it safely be used all the time without impacting on site load times?
