Marketers love the new Facebook Timeline.
Using eye-tracking research Mashable and EyeTrackShop were able to compare visual statistics of the old Facebook layout vs the new Facebook Timeline.
The findings were that:
- Facebook Timeline cover photos get noticed first
- Facebook ads get noticed more in FB Timeline (43% old vs 64% timeline)
- Personal information gets more attention in FB Timeline (1.6 second vs 2.2 second)
In a second heat map study of brand pages Mashable and EyeTrackShop discovered the following:
- Content mattersÂ
- Profile photos can be the difference between seeing and not seeing a brand (faces draw the most attention)
- Photos on the wall get attention (avg wall attention 4.88 second)
