Oh wow – i would definetley add clicktale to this list. I use it on a few of my sites and it has helped me a lot. Its heatmaps of scrolling, clicks, attention and now eye movement are second to none. It also offers live videos of your customers journey through your site. A serious reccomendation!!!
