Eye-tracking heat maps indicate banner blindness

Red areas are where users looked the most; yellow areas show less views,; blue areas show the least-viewed parts of the page; gray areas attracted no views at all and the green boxes are used to highlight advertisements.

As a result of this banner blindness, marketers are having to look at new ways to ensure their advertising messages are read.

Many brands are now routinely using sponsored articles on websites frequented by their target audiences. In fact according to moz.com’s” Content Promotion Manifesto” brands spent, on average, 6.7 percent of their content marketing budgets on sponsored content in 2013.  The trend for this kind of spend is upwards and famous names such as The New York Times and Forbes’ Brand Voice, provide good examples of companies using sponsored articles.
