Do you know what is the duration that visitor stay in your blog/site? The answer will depend on how big the visitor’s monitor is. Funny?

The reason is very simple, most of the visitor are ’surfing’ the web, and when they stumble upon any blog/site. Normally they will take 1-3 seconds to decide to ’surf in’ or ’surf out’ of your blog/site.

Question - what can they see in those 1-3 seconds? Well, the bigger the visitor’s monitor, the more things the visitor sees it. Relax.. We are not going to promote larger monitor here. Regardless of the size of the monitor, the ‘header’ is always the 1st to appear. Base on this fact, it is very important to maximize the top space of your blog/site. That is the 1st things that visitor see, and whatever information you put up there, it must be to your advantage.

Normally the information is very action base. You want the visitor to take action. You want the visitor to do what you ‘tell’ them to do. A gentler approach is encouraged. We all know that 1st impression last. How well you do it will determine how much longer you can retain them.

The objective is to ‘get the visitor in’, because one of the human behaviors is ‘since I am here, must well finding out more’.

If your header has successfully attracted in the visitor, then you be able to promote your service in your content.

Personally I am using a 15” monitor, and Firefox browser. Since Firefox can let me customize to my preference. I actually installed quite a fair bit of ‘add-on’ and toolbars – so that everything is fast and convenient for me. This is what I see in my monitor –

Since I have some extra stuff in my browser, my viewing space is no longer 15”, so when I surf to a site that is full of graphic, this is what I see –

Yes you are right; I spend less then 1 second there.
If you are like me, can’t leave without those add-ons and toolbars, and yet you want to have the maximum viewing while surfing. There is a ‘short cut’ for you. “F11” on your keyboard. Tap the ‘F11” once and you be enjoying a full screen mode. Tap it again, you be back to your setting. You got to try it to know what am I talking about.

Drunk me to share more... :-b
