I've watched people that aren't very net savvy and it's one of the first things they seem to have trouble grasping. You'd think scroll was obvious, especially with scroll mouse wheels, but it's not. What is above the fold sometimes is all they see before clicking away. Yeah darkmoon, it’s odd how some publishers delude themselves that site visitors actually enjoy and find helpful scrolling.

If you're going to copy anyone, copy Google. They use their vertical space. Users aren't detrimented from the huge block of ads on the right since you can read top down without scrolling much and it's right up there. Just a bad use of space, just as digg now is a huge banner ad and you have to scroll about quarter way to get the full start of user page. heh. Oh well.
