There is no data in the article to back up the author's hypothesis. Further no control for colors or even action/offer button language. I have read other papers with data and conducted my own UX studies that show completely different results.

#12This article is nonsense. Disregard.

#13Flipping through ABTests.com, I was hard pressed to find pages that tested having the call to action (CTA) on the left vs. CTA on the right.
I did find one for basecamp where they flipped left to right but it may not be the reason for the improvement. http://www.abtests.com/test/150001/homepage-for-basecamp
Without any evidence from the OP, how can we take the article seriously?

#14It's disappointing how many UX blogs, sites and "professionals" don't back up their claims with data.
Too many articles give rationale behind design decision while presenting reasoning as fact without supporting them with real data. There's nothing wrong with providing readers your reasoning, but in an area such as UX, I think these posts are more dentrimental than they are beneficial to those coming up in the field.

#15I cannot parse this title at all. How about "Why it matters where you place buttons that call for action."

Care to share?

#17I don't know a ton about internet marketing, but I DO know that it pisses me off when reading through the archives of a webcomic, and the Next Page button is on the top instead of the bottom (it should really be in both places, though).
Seems like a similar idea.

#18I'm amused that a UX article has such a poorly written headline that I had to read it 5 times before I my brain parsed it properly.

I gave up trying to parse it, and didn't understand it until I read (skimmed) the article.

I thought it was going to have to do with left click vs right click until half way into the article. In retrospect it was kind of a silly thing to assume, but thats what my first pass saw, and I use enough software at work that likes to throw everything important under the right click anyway that it seemed plausible.
