素晴らしいプラグインです。

導入してみたところ、簡単で使いやすいからかなりおすすめですねコレ。クリックされている場所(よく読まれている場所)が可視化されるので、アフィリエイトリンクを設置する際に便利。基本的にはやはり目次上がクリック率高いですね。

Excelente!

Me ha funcionado a la perfección con los sitios donde lo utilizo!

Nice idea, but flopped execution

I tried to buy the premium version but they won’t sell it. Uninstalled and trying one that works.
