Why percentage of internet surfers actually pay attention to the status bar? - GoFuckYourself.com

What do you think?

5% ?

25% ?

When I say "status bar," I'm referring to the bar at the bottom of the web page that changes when you pass over links.

45% +

Not really sure on the percentage, but you will get more clicks from masking affiliate codes.

What's a status bar?

depends on your sites target audience.

new / less technical surfers don't.

depends on the traffic...

my guess is SE/TYPE-IN - 5%

tgp surfers 35%

webmasters 99%

Using the latest IE on XP, I can't get the status bar to stay on beyond the current program session. It always starts up without it, and I have to reselect it from Tools. Maybe it's just my PC, but if this is IE's normal behiavior, I'd guess not very many watch it with the latest version.
