ever wonder how ur visitors eye move over diff sections of ur webpage while visiting ur webpage......well a study has been made which observed 46 people for 1hour as their eyes followed mock news websites and real multimedia content.....during the study researchers noticed a common pattern that the eyes most often fixated first in the upper left of the page .....then hovered in that area before going left to right..... only after perusing the top portion of the page for some time did their eyes explore further down the page..... te eye follows the page like this image below..

this pattern can vary......the image above is a simplistic representation of the most common eye-movement pattern researchers noticed frm multiple homepage designs......the graphic below shows the zones of importance they formulated from the eyetrack data....while each site is different u might look at ur own website and see what content u have in which zones........
