Hi,

while working with the search section in Hedir we found out many interesting facts about visitors. Google research on user experience can also help webmaster to make their site more important to the visitor. While looking for users behavior, I also learn some new things. I found a good interesting article about user reading pattern in the web. I thought I should share it other community members and also we can have a good discussion on it.

Its all about F shaped reading pattern .

reagards,
Josh

thanks, what an interesting and useful article. Very Happy

It also compares quite well with this google adsense heat map:

Although I am not particularly good at it (or implementing it's philosophy)

I mean for real, a website should be your friend, it should go all out of its way to aid you.

We are often so concerned about Google positions and stunning the visitor with mind-numbing flashy effects - we often fail to make a site that is simple, direct to the point and friendly.
