      <description>&lt;p&gt;Just this week, a client asked us to modify their home page to move a few links above the fold.&lt;/p&gt;

	&lt;p&gt;We first asked if they would tell us, using their tracking tools, if those below-the-fold links were getting fewer hits than their sibling links above the fold.&lt;/p&gt;

	&lt;p&gt;Turns out those below-the-fold links are doing as well as the above-the-fold links. The client is saved several thousand dollars, we get to focus on what really matters, and site visitors don&amp;#8217;t have to deal with an overwhelmingly packed user interface.&lt;/p&gt;

	&lt;p&gt;The lesson: first test to see if you need to move things above the fold or not.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
