Michael Arrington of the TechCrunch blog has a review of the new Wired magazine website, which is scheduled to be unveiled soon.
“The first image is the new home page for Wired. The focus is clearly on better story placement on the page (Wired currently simply lists stories in reverse chronological order), with more and bigger images. There are also only two ad units on this page: a stereo ad surrounding the Wired logo and a larger unit at the bottom right (the current Wired home page has four ad units).
“The top ad unit is unique in that it breaks the ad up into two pieces and puts the Wired logo in between. The New York Times also publishes these “stereoâ€? ad units, although the ads are clearly broken out from the logo. In the screen shot below it all kind of mashes together – this should drive CPMs they can charge way up.
“The biggest change, however, is the navigation and search bar, which is located in the middle of the page instead of at the top. This allows the eyes to fall immediately to the top story.”
