Hi, I would like to introduce Gazehub, an online eye tracking and web analytics platform that shows you real-time data of where visitors look (and click) on your website.

We are currently running a free limited beta.

To sign up, visit www.gazehub.com

    Wait... So I would have to purchase a $99 "eye tracker" just so that some random website can follow my eye movement?

    Seriously? I understand the concept, but if it relies on 3rd party software/hardware for the user that has a camera to watch the user, it would never work.

    Good concept, but bad implementation.

    The problem with current analytic tools is that they are good for site with huge number of visitors. I can not get anything from few number of visitors.

    With real eye tracking i can even know why people left my page in first 10 seconds. Where they looks in first 10 seconds.

    There was a similar startup a while ago that was acquired by fb, http://gazehawk.com/

    Goodluck

    I'm guessing this requires access to a site viewer's webcam? That would be a request that probably wouldn't fly with new, unique site visitors.
