My opinion is generally based upon some blend of research,
experience, knowledge and a bit of perspective. Hopefully it is well
thought out. Hopefully I am able to deliver something beyond all of

There is plenty of anecdotal evidence that the fold is no longer an
issue for user - and it is very old school thinking. The dreaded
scroll avoidance of the 90's is for the most part over.
The problem comes in that revenue partners and customers (particularly
those who buy ad placements) are
Seems to me that while users are more sophisticated about scrolling, it is
just common sense to make certain that anything you want the user to see on
initial view should be visible.
My recent experience in user testing is that while users have developed
expectations about how websites operate,
Well - I take what I see in the usability lab with a grain of salt.
But I kept track for a half dozen days. Out of 39 respondents we
brought in (various products being tested)... 36 scrolled to the
bottom of the first page they were shown within the first 10 seconds.
There is certainly some bias
While I can agree that the fold may not be a barrier to users, I would argue
that the fold remains a SERIOUS consideration for ad display rates and
views, and in search results display.
Whether or not users are ABLE to scroll and readily do so does not affect
the power of the screen scan on
