Heat mapping allows you to analyze the behavior of your website users. So far nothing new... Some tools collects qualitative rather than quantitative information. Heat map software records user behavior and then generates a heatmap containing the hot and cold spots of your site.
If, for example, you have a call-to-action on your homepage, but the hot spots on your site are not located there... your call-to-action may not be visible or engaging enough! Also, this process allows you to analyze your conversion funnel and track the mouse path of your users.
This is valuable information for marketers.
