Ahh, but, I am talking about people like me who don't surf with the window maximized. I use multiple windows(5 open right now) about 650w500h so the right side goes into the scroll area.

You need to stop doing that. You're going to miss all of our wonderful ads.

Great link, Simon! Extremely interesting! Thanks!

Like most people, when I'm making my freesites I try and mix up the way I present the info and ads etc to see what works best for me. I sometimes deliberately make "ugly" sites, or simple sites etc.

At first I thought that there's an argument here for ditching some types of banners/banner placement, but if certain banners are largely ignored that could be a good way of diverting the attention onto other more focused text ads.
Hmmmm.
Hmmmm.
Very interesting indeed.

Great post Simon

I always say,Science+porn=huge$$$

The stock market now has AI that trades better than any human, porn is next.

Unfortunately, I'm not one of the worlds best programmers, so my idea will have to wait.

I forget people do that. with dual monitors, I always surf full screen. I also use netcaptor, that is a tabbed browser, so I might have a dozen windows open but they are all tabbed on top of each other.

With a 23" monitor and high resolution I can pretty much see what is going on in all of them.
