– On the average Web page, users have time to read at most 28% of the words during an average visit; 20% is more likely. (Source: Nielsen Norman Group)
– The authors found that[inlinetweet prefix=”” tweeter=”” suffix=””] the Back button is now only the 3rd most-used feature on the Web[/inlinetweet].
-Clicking hypertext links remains the most-used feature, but clicking buttons (on the page) has now overtaken Back to become the second-most used feature.
- A study confirmed that 59 percent of all links shared on social networks aren’t actually clicked on at all, implying the majority of article shares aren’t based on actual reading.
- People are sharing articles without ever getting past the headlines.
- Attention spans are at an all-time low, and most users make snap decisions about articles based on their first impressions, which happen to be headlines.
- Influencers have no way to prove they “influence” — neither in quantity nor in quality — and brands have to be very realistic about what they stand to gain from such collaborations, if at all.

People search Google for “How to start a blog” 121,000 times per month worldwide. That’s nearly 4,000 people who consider starting a blog every day.

If you’re going to Blog you need to work at it.
SUMMARY: Your homepage is arguably the most important page of your website. It’s estimated that visitors take only 3-5 seconds to decide if they are going to go deeper in your website. Here are the mistakes that brands make with their website homepage.
