try to add google analytics on all your pages and then use google analitycs interfaces to track user path

Another way is to it in Javascript. Intercept all click-events on every page and send an Ajax-request to the server that logs it in a database. You can limit it to only log clicks on links, but you could also expand it to log basically everything the user does by logging all kinds of events.

what kind of information are you looking to track? i think you could crawl your server log files unless you need something more than that provides.
