  This disagrees with the web design concept of 3 clicks but the author feels that the concept has merit in evaluating a website.

  In a recent client meeting, a high-ranking executive told us that every piece of content should take no more than three clicks to access. We knew exactly what he was talking about: we've heard the Three-Click Rule many times before. This unquestioned rule

  The Three-Click Rule isn't completely bad. People talk about it with users in mind, even executives who have never designed a web site. The rule may help designers focus on the information that users need and may help them create better web sites. These a

  • Users Kept Clicking

     

    If there is a scientific basis to the Three-Click Rule, we couldn't find it  in our data. Our analysis left us without any correlation between the number  of times users clicked and their success in finding the content they sought.

     

    Our analysis showed that there wasn't any more likelihood of a user quitting  after three clicks than after 12 clicks. When we compared the successful tasks  to the unsuccessful ones, we found no differences in the distributions of tasks  lengths. Hardly anybody gave up after three clicks.

  The Three-Click Rule does not focus on the real problem. The number of clicks isn't what is important to users, but whether or not they're successful at finding what they're seeking.

  Turns out clicks don't matter - clarity does. Users will take a "click walk" with you as long as it makes sense.
