Your not the only one who noticed this.  Savvy Web advertisers noticed
higher recall and click-through rates for ads that happend to be
positioned in the lower right corner where the user must locate the
scroll down button.  Back in '98 I started to get requests at my .com to
make the ad appear in the lower right corner.  Thankfully its pretty
hard to do this well.
