James,

I too spend a lot of time on my headers. You have to remember that this is one of the first things your visitor see’s not to mention the SEO benefits of having it properly setup.

I agree, headlines draws attention in the first impression. If you have an uninteresting headlines, visitors will just leave your site without even spending a few more seconds to explore you site.

These are really good thoughts. This something which we keep debating day-in day-out. But I think this pattern would change between different user groups. Help if there is any analysis available over the net.

I just discovered this article through Delicious bookmarking. Bookmarking is new for our seo service we offer and I see its value.

To find a copywriting eyetracking article with this detail was a gift. It confirms a number of consulting tips we offer our business clients when they build their web pages….build from the left out with emphasis on keyword copywriting being on the first few words a user will read.

Excellent.

One interesting thing to note about the headline scanning – our eye tracking study definitely supports this (http://www.enquiroresearch.com/newsforce-index-page.aspx scroll to the bottom link to download the full ppt) – BUT! what we found is that once someone has already read the headline on the index and clicks it, they almost never read it again on the article page itself. Isn’t that weird?

Sean:
Analyzing your own audience is a smart thing to do. But this study and the conclusions would still apply to any website regardless of your audience.

A very generic study i left. If you are going after audience who matters, I think it is best to analyse your own audience.

Such studies are only good to a certain extent. Eventually, I think you should work closely with your own reader to improve the site.
