    Smashing Magazine\nSmashing Magazine Smashing Network Multivariate Testing in Action: Five Simple Steps to Increase Conversion Rates\nBy Paras ChopraNovember 24th, 2010\nDesign24 CommentsPublishing Policy.Advertisement\nThe attention span on the Web has been decreasing ever since Google had arrived and changed the rules of the game. Now with millions of results available on any topic imaginable, the window to grab a visitor's attention has decreased significantly (in 2002, the BBC reported it is about 9 seconds1). Picture yourself browsing the Web: do you go out of your way to read the text, look at all the graphics, and try to thoroughly understand what the page is about?

Apply the same logic to this as you would to someone seeing lots of your boards close to where they live and you can see the value.
  • It's also potentially very useful from a PR perspective. In the same way as getting those palatial places into Country Life and The Sunday Times has helped agents to gain exposure, Facebook can help to do the same. Case in point is this 22 bedroom property through Hamptons, which has attracted 651 Likes to date:

  • If you work on the basis of an average of 150 friends per Facebook user, that means this property has probably been shown on Facebook nearly 100,000 times (Country Life's readership is estimated at 215,000). When you consider that there is no direct cost associated with this level of exposure on Facebook wheras even a small a d in Country Life is upwards of £400, you can start to understand the potential value here too.
