If folk found this interesting I'd recommend they get hold of a copy of "Neuro Web Design: What Makes Them Click?" by Susan M. Weinschenk. It's not the most academic of books and a quick read (about 150 pages or so) - but it gives a bunch of high-level pointers to stuff that you can google around and dig into if you like.

My favorite behavioral economist is Dan Ariely - his TED talk "Are we in control of our decisions" is really valuable to entrepreneurs. Link here: http://www.ted.com/talks/dan_ariely_asks_are_we_in_control_o...

There's also a good book called Subliminal that discusses the neuroscience of how our subconcious brain make decisions that we often believe we made ourselves.

These are so primitive and obvious manipulations, that most of target customers already evolved (learned by experience) to ignore them.

Got a source on that? My experience and the research disagree, these take advantage of lower level cognitive biases that are prevalent (or maybe universal) in human beings.
