Users understand how it works and are not afraid of it.  It is a futile effort  to cram all relevant content above the mythical and arbitrary fold.  It is detrimental to both user comprehension and also to SEO efforts.  A much better practice is to provide consistent, obvious scent markers, which allow the user to intuitively navigate to the content they find valuable.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Next to the &#8216;back&#8217; button, the scroll bar is the most commonly used browser element.

In the old school first generation web sites screen size was limited and with most sites, designed at for 800 or 640 screen resolutions there were many constraints. The strategy was to get all of the most important and actionable content above the readable area, The term &quot;Fold&quot; was adopted to represent this premium visible area.As designers and companies learned more about SEO, they realized that they would have to add more relevant content and ad opportunities into the mix to meet business objectives. What came out of this era was a sever bad habit assuming people didn&#039;t want to scroll, and placing placing good content up top and throwaway content below. Users adopted.The fact is that scrolling is something everyone does, willingly, curiously, or even sub-consciously. In today&#039;s modern web design practices, it is essential that we accept this and push our clients to understand that good content should be the only kind of content, and that it should be spread out horizontally and vertically down the page so that when our users scroll we can give them a satisfactory surprise, and capitalize on creating better user experience for long page designs, scrolling behavior, and overall great user experiences.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Having worked on a lot of editorial, media, and other heavy content sites with an advertising component, this is a topic that comes up almost all the time.
