CrazyEgg[1], the click tracking tool, has a good interface that gives you a heatmap of how far people are scrolling down your page. It's very handy.

Does anyone else just click-hold the browser scrollbar most of the time when visiting a site while deciding on what to click on next?

I feel like I can't be the only one who does this.

I thought of using CrazyEgg in a few situations myself, but I think it would not work well if there would be more visitors behaving like I would than they presumably have anticipated.

PS: Nice work on Sipsmith!

It should still work even if you scroll like that — the browser fires its scroll events periodically, so they'll still fire, and CrazyEgg only cares about the furthest point that you scroll to.

And thanks: I've been nursing some of their damson vodka over Christmas and it's excellent stuff!
