Mouseflow.com is a new service that offers an in-depth view into user behavior on a website. It is run through a simple piece of javascript code put on each page. And the resulting analysis is very interesting. In addition to the standard number of visitors, average time on page, etc, you also get to view recordings of the mouse activity (and supposedly attention behavior) of individual users. And these recordings get rolled up into head maps (example below). The free version will record up to 100 visits per month for a site. It is worth a look.
