Site Overlay with Google Analytics

Originally uploaded by Antonescu Razvan.

Google added a few days ago a new feature to their Analytics service. The feature called Site Overlay is available in Google Analytics->Dashboards->View->Site Overlay and is described in their own words as:

Google Analytics displays your website pages superimposed with click and conversion data for each link. Site Overlay doesn’t require any downloads, and allows you to easily see which links lead to conversions, just by browsing your site.

A service (Crazy Egg) offering a similar feature was presented on TechCrunch but is still in private beta and the GUI is lees usable than the Google Analytics.

Data offered by those 2 services are not new on traffic analysis packages but the method of presenting them is more valuable
