The Software Usability Research Laboratory at Wichita State University just released a study entitled "Using Eye-Tracking Data to Understand
First Impressions of a Website" that shows results from online shopping websites.

Summary: This study discusses the contributions of eye-tracking data to traditional usability test measures for first-time usage of websites. Participants viewed the homepages of three different websites. Results showed that eye-movement data supplemented what users verbally reported in their reactions to a site. In particular, the eye-tracking data revealed which aspects of the website received more visual attention and in what order they were viewed.
