They must not have surveyed Blog users...StatMarket released results of a new survey indicating that people don't find sites by surfing from site to site anymore. They know what they want and go right to it. All the more reason to work on branding and blow up link farms. Click on >>> SEO Book scam - Warning

Make Them Scroll.
A study on speed and comprehension by the Software Usability Research Laboratory offers surprising insight into an old warning - "Don't make them scroll." These results should be factored into your own user case scenerios and website objectives, instead of accepting a new one-size-fits-all rule to go by. And, if your content is poorly written, no manner of reading it is going to be productive.
Click on >>> The Impact of Paging vs. Scrolling on Reading Online Text Passages
Quote: "The findings from this study show that participants using the paging condition took significantly longer to read the passages than either the full or scrolling conditions. Participants also showed no significant differences in their ability to answer comprehension questions correctly, nor in their perceptions or satisfaction of the reading conditions. This is somewhat surprising given that previous research has shown paging to be typically faster than scrolling (Dyson & Kipping, 1998). One might have expected that the Scrolling condition may be more time consuming given the users had to click the scroll bar more times to view the entire passage than they did in the Paging (3 clicks) or Full (1 click) condition. However, several users commented that they were more accustomed to scrolling when reading documents on the web. It may be that since participants had more exposure to scrolling they were able to read through the documents more quickly using that mode of navigation. Participants stated that they found the Paging condition to be "too broken up," and that they had to "go back and forth" quite a bit to search for information. It is possible then, that for searching as well, viewing more of the document on a single screen facilitated easier scanning."

How relevant are Jakob Nielsen's Top 10 web design mistakes in today's web development environment? A student has set up an entire website hoping to learn all he can on web designers' views. "The project aims to gather people's views as to whether these statements are still relevant. There are a number of polls on the site (www.webanalysis.co.uk ) referring to web design and Jakob's work. Please feel free to take part and add your own views. There is also a forum where people can leave their own ideas." Click on >>> Top 10 Poll. Plus, Cre8asiteForums contributes to the discussion here >>> Jakob Nielsen
