The prime real estate of any website is above the fold — the portion of the page that visitors see without scrolling.
Do you know how to get the most out of that space?
Understanding what portion of your page most visitors see matters to YOU as an affiliate marketer. If your visitors don’t SEE the most important portion of your page without scrolling, you might be losing revenue.
The challenge you’ll find is that visitors to your site use different size browsers, different screen resolutions and different operating systems.

Google Labs has come up with a neat FREE tool that you can use to find out exactly where your prime website real estate is located. The tool is called “Google Browser Size”
According to Google, Google Browser Size “is a visualization of browser window sizes for people who visit Google. For example, the “90%” contour means that 90% of people visiting Google have their browser window open to at least this size or larger.”

The information is free. Go to http://browsersize.googlelabs.com/, type your website URL into the search box and find out what percentage of your website visitors are seeing the most important part of your page.
Check your own analytics! Making changes to your website design should not be based entirely upon the Google Brower Size information.
