Comment on Research: Google Places Heatmaps by Nico Brooks

Here is a post from Gord that explains his findings better than I could: http://searchengineland.com/eye-tracking-on-universal-and-personalized-search-12233 – a key concept he talks about is “information scent”, which is basically the idea that as we forage for information we look for clues that will lead to fulfilling our information need. From Gord’s findings, we can evaluate the scent of an image much more quickly than text. So it seems there is an underlying question of how much time we spend looking for scent, and how much time we spend actually absorbing information.
In any case, looking forward to reading through your research paper tonight, and glad to have come across your blog!

I think that’s very possible. The map gets some attention, but not much. I think we use it as a visual clue as to the general content of the page. There doesn’t seem to be enough attention given to it to interpret any actual data from within the map, however.

Thank you for making these available – very helpful for a presentation I’m doing.
One comment regarding, “Our research found that the map actually receives very little attention. Most people hardly notice its presence at all.”
I saw a presentation by Gord Hotchkiss a couple of years ago where he went in to some detail on how searchers scan images on the SERP. He pointed out that the heap map makes it look like searchers hardly look at images at all, but in fact their eye flicks to the image and immediately to the right, having processed the image much more quickly than text. I wonder if that is what is happening here with the map?
