The Underscore Archives

Interesting article,

It seems to imply that Ads are almost completelty ignored, although this
can't be the case or google would go bust :o) Would be interesting to see
what the sample size was.

I came across something in a similiar vein (heat maps and user activity):

http://blogtrench.blogspot.com/2007/08/hidden-f-in-your-web-pages.html

Which I also found quite interesting and has the add advantage of providing
an excuse to talk about the 'F in web pages' . . . . (You'll have to read
the article).

rapier sharp wit and its only monday. . . .

<sigh>
