Interesting, but what’s the stat source?

Then do pages with a single carousel image cause people to linger longer?
:wink:

I don’t know but I wondered the same thing. Someone mentioned it at the Breaking Development Conference so therefore it must be accurate and true. :wink:

It would be an interesting study I think – there are certainly several
already wrestling with the value of content placement – vis-a-vis “the
fold”. Sliders and carousels have become ways to sneak in more content and
calls-to-actions to the prominent top position. Very easy imo to achieve a
“spammy” look, or the result of poor content design. Overused, but, not
entirely useless.

If those numbers are accurate then it’s like that content doesn’t even exist for the visitor. I do like carousels for some things but like most stuff its use gets pounded into the ground and eventually it becomes little more than visual white-noise. It’s inevitable with flavor-of-the-month things like carousels etc.
