There are some common "best practices" when it comes to ad placements on a webpage. Many of these are just common sense, but I have finally come across some research on how to best place advertisements.

The findings are interesting (long read though) and I will probably try to tweak some of my sites to implement their suggestions.

Great link! Even for "entertainment purposes only", it's an interesting article. Makes you realize why marketing people get paid the big bucks.

I also found it cool how they used the "heat vision" maps to track what people looked at. Wasn't there a James Bond movie that involved that?

Oh wow, that heat map is going to be very helpful to me in the future, thanks for the info Div
