URL Trends
URLtrends is another website that allows you to measure a number of metrics comparing your website to the average website. Some of the trends followed are Number of incoming links, pagerank, Alexa ranking, Search engine results and more.
Record your visitors’ actions
Similar to the previously mentioned Woopra and perhaps more like Clicktale, RobotReplay uses one line of Javascript (less than 10k) to record everything visitors do on your site, including mouse movement. You can then watch the videos later as if you were looking over their shoulder. RobotReplay is currently free but that will probably change in the future.
