How Users Read on the Web

excerpts from page How Users Read on the Web. Something we all can learn from.

"People rarely read Web pages word by word; instead, they scan the page, picking out individual words and sentences"

"Credibility can be increased by high-quality graphics, good writing, and use of outbound hypertext links"

"Users detested "marketese"; the promotional writing style with boastful subjective claims ("hottest ever") that currently is prevalent on the Web"

"Web users are busy: they want to get the straight facts"
