Are there any studies about whether it is easier for a user to read a menu
on the left or on the right of a webpage?

Rik said:Yes, because people are used to it, the left is preferred. People scan a
webpage in an F-like pattern it seems. Google Nielsen & F-pattern. It seems
to show the right column is hardly ever checked.
Luigi Donatello Asero said:Has W3 never used a menu on the left?
I think I had seen it a few days ago...
Luigi said:Sorry, I meant on the right.
Rik said:Does that matter? What w3c uses for layout on their pages is a totally
different question.

Luigi said:Interesting.
If users scan a webpage in a F-like pattern,
why does Google put their advertisements on the right side?

by others. However, there are some languages that read from right to
left. I wonder if readers for such languages would have the same
opinion as readers of most European languages that read from left to
right.
It is impressive how you can find these things mb!
Interesting. But, in no way is this a proof or indicator that menus on
the right would be in any way less ergonomic.
........ After an extensive traffic
flow tracking project, the consultants suggested not to build the
bridge. The tracking data clearly showed that there was no traffic at
the projected bridge position.
